d2n

d2n adds timestamps in ISO 8601+ format YYYY-MM-DD (http://datestamps.org/index.shtml) at the beginning of the filenames to files. d2n is inspired by Karl Voit's article on "Managing Digital Files" and his date2name tool but not 100% compatible.

If the timestamp exists at the beginning of the filename, it will be ignored. Executed with an examplefilename of "image.jpg", it results in "2006-01-02T15.04.05.jpg".

Note: Other that defined in ISO 8601+ the delimiter between hours, minutes, and seconds is not a colon but a dot. Colons are causing several problems on different file systems and are therefore replaced with the (older) DIN 5008 version with dots. (see date2name for more information).
