Sure can, check out the help document, specifically the Unicode LDML formats for dates, which is a little verbose, so I'll just give you the fish: {date:MMMM d}

{date:YYMMdd} totally worked (in v3 BETA). As promised: Thank you very much!

I frequently use a specific date format that's not able to be achieved using the dynamic placeholders for snippets (without changing my system date formatting) : https://www.alfredapp.com/help/features/clipboard/dynamic-placeholders/ Specifically, I prefer to have yymmdd as a snippet (it's a compliant file name without punctuation and sorts naturally). When making sure I wasn't filing a duplicate, I came across a different but related request, just for the year: http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/1021-snippet-year-placeholder/?hl=%2Bdate+%2Bsnippet So my request is that of enabling more granular date formatting... perhaps breaking it into components such that I might be able to use: {year:small}{month:small}{day:small} Actual tag names aren't as important as the functionality, so something already known and documented would be more flexible, such as Python's strftime's spec: https://docs.python.org/2/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-behavior ie: {date:'%y%m%d'} That would make me so happy.
