Is there an easy way to do this for files in a particular directory - to have their names be renamed to the file timestamp, with seconds level precision
Clarification:
For example, suppose a (Mac 10.14.15) directory has the following files, where the notation below shows original file name and file creation time. (But, to be clear, we are working from the Mac file directory, and not from the luxury of just parsing thru a text file.) The filenames are uuid 36 character names:
35eafb32-8005-11e9-bc42-526af7764f64.png 09:35:01 419f0eb4-8005-11e9-bc42-526af7764f64.png 09:35:11 43249984-8005-11e9-bc42-526af7764f64.png 21:02:03
Suppose I want to rename the files based on (original creation) timestamp, but the filename of course has to be in an acceptable format:
prepend-09_35_01.png prepend-09_35_11.png prepend-21_02_03.png
(In the actual case, the directory has 2000+ files. If it matters, they are transported from an iPhone X app I made - through iTunes file sharing. The file creation date and time shows up correctly on Mac when transferred.)

the original filename? I also said, "Also, as you have the automator tag, show us your workflow too.", yet you did not comment nor have you said what type of solution you'd prefer,bash
script to use in Terminal only or an Automator workflow, etc. It's really a shame you just couldn't' be explicit and specific!
