Hi Alex,

This command may do what you want:

exiftool "-filename<%f-${location}.%e" DIR

To test this out, replace "filename" in the above command with "testname" to be sure it is doing what you want before renaming the files.

What is the location? Does it contain characters that can't be in a Windows filename such as / | :

Try
exiftool "-filename<%f-${location;}.%e" DIR
