Is there a way to skip files that already have a date convention?

Thank you for this amazing tool! 

Is there a way to set up a rule to skip files that already have a date at the beginning of the file name?  I believe I uploaded a jpg screenshot of my example in this case.

Windows 10 v10.0.18363
ReNamer Lite v7.2
Rule: Insert
Statement:  :EXIF_Date:-

Existing name: 2015-08-01-120734-945 (2).JPG
New name:      2015-08-01-120734-945 (2)-2015-08-01-120734-945 (2).JPG

Thank you

Re: Is there a way to skip files that already have a date convention?

There is no way to skip a rule for some files.

But there are other options:

1. Pre-filter files before adding to ReNamer.
2. Delete the original name and insert exif date again for all files.
3. Use Pascal Script rule to insert exif date only for files which don't have a date already.
