User reviews

Works perfectly for my use case. A useful enhancement would be to have the option for it only do this with a specific filename. For example if the file is called report.pdf then it renames it with date time added. Otherwise it does not.

Working smoothly.

This is a very much needed function for web browsers. I'd also like to see some separation of fields as the other review. Being able to define which fields would also be useful, eg, this output would be ideal: (`date +"%d-%m-%Y_%H.%M.%S"`) 25-03-2022_16.10.55
