Hi guys! This is my first post but I've been lurking for a bit. I do archival for a fandom I've been in for about 6 years and care a lot about- with all the crap we've been through (not gonna specify anything further than that) the odds of large swaths of both official and fan content disappearing from the internet isn't exactly low (its happened before really)
My point is, I have >1300 (credited) fanart pieces saved to a little USB plugged into my computer (yes I know I should have a second backup drive, I'm working on it, I'm new to this) and I thought I might like to add the dates the drawings were published to their filenames (or somewhere else if possible), however, again, I have 1300 files in here, and searching out every drawing (if they even still exist which I'm certain many don't) and manually typing the date in would be ah,, a nightmare! So if anyone has advice for this I would appreciate it a lot. Thanks in advance!
