Is there a way to put date/time in the filename?

[POD319]

I like a very simple filename on my output, but right now it's so simple that I'm overwriting my files. Would like to add a very short extension to the filename, something like the current time. I didn't see these variables available in the program, are they perhaps hidden? Otherwise, any recommendation on what I can add to keep my filename short but descriptive?

see Output file names in the "export options" dialog, is that what you're looking for?

Thanks but I mean specifically date or time options -- I did see those but I was unsure if those were all inclusive. I tried to search documentation but had no luck, hoping someone may be aware of 'hidden' variables or additional ones that weren't listed there.

Ah ok. So you want like wall clock time? Time that the export started? So all segments will have the same time value?

That would be pretty good. I've typically seen other programs have options to use values ranging from year/month down to minute/second, or even ms.

For example, if I could specify something like ${HHMMSS} it would output 193240 -- representing 07:32PM and 40 seconds in this case. That allows me to create a file that will have a very unique name, but not too long, and if I make a small adjustment I don't have to worry about overwriting one.
