Date Formats
The Big Mean Folder Machine allows you to specify custom date and time formats for splitting your files into separate folders.
This mechanism works by using a "pattern" supplied by you, which contains "placeholders" that will be replaced with the actual date and time values of each file.
The placeholders are simply text enclosed in angle brackets. A full list of all available placeholders is in the table below:
