Description Abe Lau 2005-01-09 04:30:11 UTC 
It's a great feature to rename all my photos to format 2004-1-1--12:25:45.jpg
with the "rename series" function.  However, the colon symbol ":" is not a valid
filename character under MS Windows.  This makes transferring those renamed
files to some friends (using windows) difficult and inconvenient.

I wonder if there could be option for alternative date format(%d) such as
2004-1-1--12h-25m-45s.jpg so that those renamed files could easily be shared
amoung users with different OSs?

thx for this great piece of software :)

Comment 2 Paolo Bacchilega 2005-01-11 15:21:26 UTC 
fixed using '.' instead of ':', e.g. for the example above you get
2004-1-1--12.25.45.jpg now.
