Good day. Would like to automatically add the date in the following format (YYYY_MM_DD) when exporting audio
+1. Wish they would do this - I would use it on every export. I requested it years ago but hasn’t happened

Great request.
+1
+1 totally agree
As a workaround, this should be possible to do with “Audio Export Post Processing”, but it would require some scripting. If I find time, maybe I’ll give it a go…
+1 - if the date format was customisable. Sortable dates are useful, but not always.
I couldn’t help myself of course and have written an audio export post process script that can insert the date at the beginning of the audio file name (you can also specify the date format in the File Location→Name field if you put it between “%%”, it must be a valid powershell date format string though, else the script will fail).
You can download it from my github. It’s for Windows only, cause I don’t have a Mac, I could write a bash script, but not test it.
Use at your own risk, for me, I have done some ismple test and it worked for me with single and multiple export files. Check the powershell scripts for further configuration.

Do I need to execute the script for each audio file that Cubase has created? Or can it be auto-executed by Cubase?
These are Audio Export Post process scripts, which are called from the Export Audio Mixdown Window (“After Export”) automatically, if selected.

Hm. Unfortunately they do not get shown in Cubase, even I copied them to the path you said in Cubase 14:
Did you restart Cubase?
Check that the controller of the files is correct and the files have the correction extension.
Please show the path where you installed the files.
I downloaded them and copied them directly into the path you had told me:
After I started Cubase… Did I miss anything?
What do you mean by that?
Restart Cubase?
sorry, typo, that was meant to be “content” 
it should look like this:
if that doesn’t work after a restart, make sure that you correctly download the files from github:
Do you by any chance have Cubase Artist? Maybe it is a limitation there?
Else I don’t know, for me it works with Cubase 14 and those files.
Cubase 14 Pro
Do I need to activate them somehow?
