Format Date/Time

The "Format Date/Time" module provides a way to format a datetime value stored in a variable into another. For example, you specify can IMAGE_DATETIME as the input variable, then select or type what output variable you want to use and then the date format type desired. The module will take care of parsing the date/time and format that as specified. Note that the output variable can then be displayed, saved, etc. within other modules.

Time with no camera
I am using RR without a camera, but in this case the IMAGE_DATETIME does not update.
