Extract XMP raw file name to rename file

[DirkM]

Hi,

my hdd crashed and I had to recover my photos (Nikon D7000). Most of the photos are now renamed by the recovery software, but I found out, that the original file name is still stored in the "XMP:raw file name" tag.

How could I write a batch file to extract the original filename to the rename the file?

Kind regards,
Dirk

Hi Dirk,

Try this:

exiftool "-filename<rawfilename" DIR

where DIR is the name of the directory containing the images.
