Solved Add dates to wav files in the Media folder upon creation?

[Roncore]

Let me preface that I've asked this in the official forums and subreddit with no response, so I'm posting here in case somebody else may have a solution!

Is this possible? For instance I have a song called "2024-10-18 - Song1) that consists of multiple takes (Left Guitar, Right Guitar, Bass, etc). Is there a way for Studio One to append a date to the created media files

eg. 2024-10-18 - Left Guitar

I know Reaper does this and was always helpful when organizing project folders. Studio one just does "Left Guitar", so if I record another take of that, it names it "Left Guitar (2).

I have old Studio One sessions where I did a demo for "2019-10-01-Song1" and then I have another Studio one session where I did ANOTHER demo for the same "Song1" in 2020 with different takes, and I'm trying to consolidate them all into a single folder called "Song1" for organization purposes, but I can't because I have multiple "Left Guitar" wav files.

I haven't seen this brought up anywhere and wanted to ask. I've had many instances where I will start out a project with programmed drums and rough guitars, and then save another version in the same folder, but there is no quick and easy way to see which media files were created on what date unless you are going into Explorer and adding the Date Created/Date Modified views.

Unfortunately, that‘s not a feature yet. But your operating system sets a date for any file when it‘s being created so all you need to do is take a look at the date in the finder/explorer and you can still figure out which one is belonging to which session.

It is a much needed feature. Consolidating sessions like I am talking about (into one folder) would still not work regardless of what explorer says sadly. That will just overwrite the file since the naming scheme is the same.

I see - one workaround could be to have a folder for each session in the main folder of your song, that way no file would be overwritten.
