But it's in European notation, meaning day.month.year. Ie it's 7th Arpil, 1983 Rule of thumb: if it's "/" then it's MM/DD/YY or YY/MM/DD (depending whether it's USian or Japanese). If it's "." then it's DD.MM.YY (most common European notation). If it's "-" it was supposed to be YYYY-MM-DD by ISO8601, but too many people confused it as being the "new way" to write dates, so it can be literally anything. Thanks for the pictures!

As comment yyyymmdd is actually a windows behavior. If files are named in that manner they line up in the directory in order. 20171216 8603 pix 1-20. Minor but may be helpful.
