Title: Music brainz how to create naming script for year, month and date?
Post by: kanal on February 20, 2021, 11:15:28 PM

Currently my file naming script is the following:
$if(%_subfolder%,%_subfolder%)/
$if2(%albumartist%,%artist%)/
[$if2(%originaldate%,%date%)] %album% $if(%catalognumber%,{%catalognumber%})/
$if(%discnumber%,%discnumber%,1).$num(%tracknumber%,2). %title%

The output (of the folder) will be: [1977-06-03] Exodus {1734079}
What I want is: [1977.06.03] Exodus {1734079}

I've tried adding: $if(%Y%.,%M.%D%), $if(%year%.,%month.%day%), and a few more less obvious ones. None of them worked.
I tried to understand their documentations but it didn't make sense to me (I don't know anything about scripting), I followed this link "https://picard-docs.musicbrainz.org/en/functions/func_datetime.html" and added "$datetime(\%Y-\%m-\%d)" to my script which gave me an "unknown function 'datetime'" error.

Thanks in advance! I'm also curious of the name preferences people here have.

Your question is specifically about scripting for MusicBrainz' Picard.

There are many people here who can really help you but some are busy. Are you done with your script?
