# Compatible with ranger 1.6.0 through 1.7.*
#
# This plugin adds the new macro %date which is substituted with the current
# date in commands that allow macros.  You can test it with the command
# ":shell echo %date; read"

# Save the original macro function

    macros['date'] = time.strftime('%m/%d/%Y')

# Overwrite the old one
