Append date to folder name - Tasker Tips & Tricks

Hello, totally new to Tasker here.
I need to copy a folder weekly to ext SD appending the date to the folder name, so as to be able to keep on ext SD multiple versions of the same folder.
Is that possible to do?
The first part of copying the folder to ext SD seems easy enough, but I have no idea how to append the date to the folder name.
Best
Fran

I found a solution myself in the "to" field you write: path to/[email protected]/
It copies the folder, appending the date to the folder name.

Maps not found!

Hello,
Have installed TomTom 5.1 but the program does not find the maps located on my SD-card. Is there a setting somewhere to tell TomTom where to find the maps??
Finicky program.
from my blog, http://www.beyondthetech.com/blogs/kjam/2005/10/surefire-method-of-installing-tomtom.html
...
On your desktop, launch Notepad.
Type & \Storage Card\New-England_and_Mid-Atlantic-Map\ or whatever the name of your main map folder is on your mini-SD card. Do not forget to add the final backslash and a have a space between the ampersand and the first backslash.
Save the file as CurrentMap.dat. Make sure it doesn't end up as CurrentMap.dat.txt!
Create a folder on your K-JAM called \My Documents\TomTom.
Copy your newly created CurrentMap.dat file from your desktop into \My Documents\TomTom on your K-JAM.
...
Wierd...dosent work.
Have created the CurrentMap.dat -file and made sure that it does not have the .txt extension.
Have created the Folder /My Documents/TomTom and put the file there
As I have a Swedish version of OS I also created the Swedish version on that map...also tried to copy the file to the /program/Navigator folder where the exe file is located.
Have done a complete reboot but the program stil don't find the maps...
Also made sure the Path and spelling was correkt "& \Storage Card\Scandinavian-Maps\"
Is not Scandinavian.Maps but *.Map. Also you not have to create a folder My documents because this folfer already exists in PDA storage. Is a system folder.
Yeah, infact it says "& \Storage Card \Scandinavia-Map\" witch I have verified on the storage card to be the correct folder name.
And you are right..I did not created the acctual My Documents folder but the TomTom folder was created.
Have looked at a friends CurrentMap.dat file (where TomTom works) but there seem to also be some other data that the TomTom software probably creates...my guess would be it's binary data. Have tried to copy my friends file to my K-Jam but stil no success.
Same problem here, tried all options I can come up with, and as soon as I revert back to tomtom 5 the map is found again.
Which lead me to believe that the "currentmap.dat" file at least is correct, or have they changed somtething with it in v 5.1 ?
fahlis: The update doesn't change anything in \my documents\tomtom folder.
Sedvese: my curentMap file is as follows:  \SD Card\Iberia_Plus-Map\
If you want I can sen you the file, you open it with notepad and replace Iberia_Plus-Map by Scandinavia-Map. Who knows it can fix your problem.

Try this re-naming experiment

Go into 'My Files' and try re-naming your Android, DCIM and sd folders.
When you 're-name' your Android and DCIM folders you are really creating new folders, not re-naming your old ones.
And when you try to re-name your sd folder, you will be told that you can't.
Get to know Android.
that is how the normal file system works in linux

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well first, how do you know which folders can be renamed and which can't?
Will linux create a new folder (and all its contents) whenever you rename one or just when you rename certain ones?
TIA

[Q] [HOW-TO] Hide folders in file explorer

Hi,
Is there a way to hide folder from the file explorer? I found it highly annoying that the sd card is packed with apps files and folders.
I tried the add a "." to the name of a folder, and it is indeed hidding it, but then existing shortcut to files inside that folder are no longer accessible since since the path has changed from ".\Folder\file.apk" to ".\.Folder\file.apk" and thus file cannot be found.
Is there a solution?
thanks!
As posted here .
make .nomedia.txt text file in relevant folder .
