Message 5 of Hi Yash, I tried the steps mentioned and I was able to see that when I add a file date is getting appended to the file name. But I dont want the date to get appended to the file which was already appended with date and if it did not get modified. See the screenshot please.

I see that everytime I add new file to the folder, date is getting appended to all the files causing the files to have multiple dates. Also If I modify the existing file I want the previous date to be placed by current data of modification. Hope I did not confuse and conveyed my message right.
