NameDate will change the name of a given file to include the date. For example, a file name somefile.ext will be renamed to somefile 31-Oct-2016.ext when namedate somefile.ext is run.

NameDate offers a whole range of options to configure how the resulting file name should be formatted, define where the file should be located (you can move the files while renaming them), add a counter or several other features.

NameDate is free software and comes with full source code.
