Title: Request for date-time render output variable
Post by: sboerner on April 05, 2021, 01:04:42 PM

I'm wondering if it might be possible to add two render output variables to insert the system date and time into a filename. For example:

${DATE} or ${SYSTEMDATE} in YYYYMMDD format so today would be 20210405

and

${TIME} or ${SYSTEMTIME} in HH:MM:SS format so the time now would be 13:01:22

You could then build a default output filename something like this:

${TGDNAME}_${SYSTEMDATE}-${SYSTEMTIME}.%04d.exr

so every rendering would get a unique filename.

I'm doing this manually now but having it built in would be cool.

Id love just to have just the vars themselves that way you could format the way you want. So like {YY}, {MM}, {DD}, {HH}, {MM}, {SS}
