Unique File Creator VS Code Extension

Overview

The Unique File Creator extension for Visual Studio Code allows you to quickly create new files in your workspace with a timestamp prefix. This is especially useful for organizing files chronologically or ensuring unique filenames.

Features

• Create New File Command: Easily create a new file with a timestamp prefix.
• Customizable Timestamp Format: Configure the timestamp format (e.g., YYYY-MM-DD-hh-mm-ss) to suit your needs.
• Seamless Integration: Automatically opens the newly created file in the editor.

Installation

1. Open the Extensions view in Visual Studio Code (Ctrl+Shift+X or Cmd+Shift+X on macOS).
2. Search for "Unique File Creator".
3. Click "Install" to add the extension to your editor.

Alternatively, you can install it from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.

Usage

1. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS).
2. Type and select Create New File.
3. Enter a title for the new file when prompted.
4. The extension will create the file with a timestamp prefix and open it in the editor.

Example

If you enter my-new-file as the title and the timestamp format is YYYY-MM-DD-hh-mm-ss, the file will be created as:

2025-04-10-12-30-45 - my-new-file.txt
<timestamp> - <filename><extension>

Configuration

You can customize the timestamp format by modifying the extension settings (coming soon).
