Dates and Days and Months and 0-9 Tue Feb 09, 2016 5:17 pm • by movermovermover
Hello community,

I'm looking for some help with an issue about dates before the 10th of each month, or before October (the 10th month). I'd like to be able to sort photos into structures like this:

2016 > 02 > 09

With Hazel, I can't seem to find a way to make it do anything other than this:

2016 > 2 > 9

(if I still want it to work on the 10th of each month)

I don't mind making two sets of rules if I need to, of course. Any suggestions on how to get those conditional zeroes added? Thanks!

Thanks!

Click on the date attribute and select "Edit Date Format". There you can click on the day and month tokens and specify the number of digits. In your case, you want the version that has both digits underlined, indicating that it will always be two digits.

Thanks! I figured it out moments after I submitted this post to the forum moderation queue. I suppose it might be helpful to leave it up here, even though it's just about impossible to find a good search term for.
