If it's of any use to anyone here's the rename mask I usually apply to my photographs.

<:wYYYYMMDD:-h:wHH:m:wMM:s:wSS:-PDT >*.*

Using the "w" gets the actual time the file was created (written to) - meaning the moment the camera shutter went off.

This file: "IMG_1675.CR2"

Becomes this: "20041108-h00m11s17-PDT IMG_1675.CR2"
