underscore after date sometimes appears and others not about date2name HOT 3 CLOSED

I added the CLI parameter --delimiter where you can define any arbitrary string as delimiter. And I added some clarification of this hidden feature in the help screen.

Please notice that date2name might not be able to recognize this as a delimiter character if it does not start with space, minus or underscore.

In a shell, you can define something like alias date2name="date2name --delimiter=\"_\"" in order to get your underscore as the default delimiter.

I totally understand your irritation and I do have to apologize for that.

My personal preference is implemented in the code: if there is a space in the file name already, use a space as a separator character. If not, use an underscore character as a separator.

I was hoping that this is somehow a good idea for the general case. Do you think I should remove this "semi-intelligent" guess and add an additional command line option to choose the separator character?

No frustration :) I think it's a useful little software. Currently, I tend to end up with mixed underscores and white space after the date. Sometimes I use append file name or tags first, so I end up with no underscore.

I don't consider it a big deal, though. I also haven't decided if I like underscores or space better. But if it's no trouble, sure, add an option.
