Setting EXIF Metadata (or renaming/moving a file) from Filesystem's DateCreated?

Hello and thanks for this amazing utility.

I essentially need to do this:

exiftool -r -d %Y/%m/%d/image_%H%M%S.%%e "-filename<filemodifydate" DIR

Except I need all date information (in -d %Y/%m...) to come from the filesystem's DateCreated value (not the date modified as in the example above).

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, no.  The filesystem creation date is not available on all platforms, and I haven't yet implemented the necessary platform-specific code to read this in Windows, so it isn't available via ExifTool.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
