ReNamer:Scripts:Hours span

This script reads dates from filenames in format yyyy-mm-dd hh-nn-ss.JPG then adds/subtracts N hours from the date and prints the new date in the format defined by DateOutputFormat variable. HoursSpan variable defines how many hours should be added/subtracted (use minus for subtraction).
