creation-date-filename

Prepend the creationdate to the filename

This simply takes the creation date of the file and renames the same file with that date on the start. This is useful as some camera manufacturers (looking at you GoPro) use a seemingly random number for their filenames, which is utterly useless. Using an ISO8601 datetime ensures that the file is ordered correctly in the file list, as well as the timeline of your favourite non-linear video editor.
