How can I automate file naming for my projects?

How can I automate file naming for my projects?

You can use scripts or software tools to create rules for naming files based on criteria like date, project name, or version.

What programming languages can I use for this?

Common choices include Python, Bash, and PowerShell, as they have libraries and commands for file manipulation.

Can you give me an example of a Python script for this?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import os
from datetime import datetime

folder_path = 'your_folder_path'
for filename in os.listdir(folder_path):
    new_name = f"project_{datetime.now().strftime('%Y%m%d')}_{filename}"
    os.rename(os.path.join(folder_path, filename), os.path.join(folder_path, new_name))

What if I want to include the file type in the name?

You can modify the script to include the file extension by using os.path.splitext(filename)[1] to get the file type.
