To learn if SIP is enabled or disabled, runįollow these steps to disable SIP: Restart your Mac-before OS X starts up, hold down Command-R and keep it held down until you see an Apple icon and a progress bar. This command can be run without root privileges and will tell you if SIP is on or off. You now have to disable SIP temporarily to make change: (This is way too much information to show complete on the Desktop icon as well.) The default Screen Shot is something like: Screen Shot at 10.03.19 PM.png You can also sort Finder files by date added, date modified etc. Of course we do know you can rename the screen shot sitting on the Desktop like any file-one at a time-manually. I realise you are reinventing the wheel but nowadays that seems to be the best way with how Apple is locking down system files unless anyone has a better idea.Ĭan someone remind me where i would find the terminal commands to rename my screenshots? right now there is some syntax issue where images take in the PM may show up in finder before in images taken in the AM because they time they were taken precedes any AM PM designation.Īs i recall i saved this by simply renaming h That could be wrapped in an Automator service & then you can assign a keyboard shortcut. Screencapture -io ~/Desktop/`date '+%y%m%d%H%M%S'`.png Or perhaps use the last command given at… Perhaps you need to use a different approach … It seems to me that you want to have more control than Apple are offering. You will have to use the method that modifies the system file to alter the actual date format as leroydouglas posted earlier, I don't really understand which string you need to modify in that file (the second link bellow also has some info on that). Tinkertools only changes items that are built in - Apple did not allow the date formatting to be changed for just this task. No problem, timing & the site layout can cause conflicting posts 🙂
