Speaking of which I invented my own way of doing it which is how I label my photos which I can do automatically in adobe bridge 100809 Is how I'd have today's day. The tenth year, 8th month, ninth day With the time tagged on as well 045119 is 4:51 AM and 19 seconds. So a photo I shot a few seconds ago would have this as the file name: 100809_045119. They will line up in both numeric and chronological order in my computer. Someday I'll be rich and famous for having thought of this! -------------------- Mark William Rabiner Photography mark at rabinergroup.com > From: Frank Dernie <Frank.Dernie at btinternet.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Mon, 9 Aug 2010 08:10:16 +0100 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Today is 8/9/10 > > Hi Mark, > AFAIK North America is the only place in the world to use the > month-day-year > format, (can anybody correct that??) which is illogical, like > feet-inches-yards for distance or minute-second-day for shorter times. > Most places I have visited in the world use day-month-year, which has a > logic > like inches-feet-miles. > Japan, and probably other countries in this region(???) use year-month-day, > which is the most logical IMHO, and the one I use for photograph files > FWIW. > It is like miles-feet-inches and is compatible with hours-minutes-seconds. > Sensible. > Frank
