Hello!
I want to use %-c to couple with burst shot camera, but adding it to all shots that share the same second. For example, using:
$ exiftool -d '%Y-%m-%d %H.%M.%S' '-FileName<${DateTimeOriginal}%-c.${FileTypeExtension}' . I'm getting:
2010-10-16 10.54.53.jpg ---> left unchanged
2010-10-16 10.53.58.jpg ---> left unchanged
2010-10-16 10.54.03.jpg ---> left unchanged
2010-10-16 10.54.43.jpg ---> left unchanged
2010-10-16 10.54.48-1.jpg ---> ok
2010-10-16 10.54.48.jpg ---> Change to 2010-10-16 10.54.48-0.jpg
How can I change 2010-10-16 10.54.48.jpg to 2010-10-16 10.54.48-0.jpg maintaining the non burst shots as is, without adding too -0.jpg?
Thanks in advance!!
Found this answer from 2010 about the same topic in forum: https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php/topic,2746.msg12142.html#msg12142
Maybe this still can't be done with a current version of ExifTool? Please, confirm.
Anything you could do with older versions of ExifTool you can still do with newer versions (with very rare exceptions).

Well, I was asking about the opposite, sorry ;D With the old version was not possible, maybe now is possible?
Oh, I see.
Is it only "-0" that you want to add if the "-1" file exists? If so, this will do it:
exiftool "-filename<%-.2f-0.%e" -srcfile %d%-.2f.%e DIR/*-1.jpg
- Phil
I think that the question is whether %c can be used to add -0 only when there is going to be a duplicate name. So given the examples, the results should be
2010-10-16 10.54.43.jpg
2010-10-16 10.54.48-0.jpg
2010-10-16 10.54.48-1.jpg
2010-10-16 10.54.50.jpg
on the first pass. Which I don't believe have changed since the 2010 post linked since there hasn't been any changes to the docs (see -w (textout) option (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#w-EXT-or-FMT--textOut)). Though it's cool that you came up with a workaround.
Myself, I just switched to using an underscore instead of a dash to keep file order sorted properly.

Thanks Phil for your answer. Unfortunately, I'm having a hard time getting it to work, thanks for your patience. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong:

Common Mistake #5c (https://exiftool.org/mistakes.html#M5) strikes even the best of us. ;)
Equal sign instead of Less than sign
exiftool "-filename=%-.2f-0.%e" -srcfile %d%-.2f.%e DIR/*-1.jpg

Hahahha, thank you very much StarGeek, and sorry for so strange requests ;D
What about integrating
exiftool "-filename=%-.2f-0.%e" -srcfile %d%-.2f.%e DIR/*-1.jpg in my current
exiftool order (above)? Can be done? Must exiftool be called two times?

Yes, this requires two commands. But you can do this with do it with another
-execute in your command.
Sorry Phil, after expending more than two hours trying to integrate it into my command, finally give up. I think the problem is in the DIR/*-1.jpg part. Because I'm getting:
Error: File not found - ./*-1.jpg
I just can't get ExifTool to find the correct file to rename... :-[
Are there any files with names that end in "-1.jpg" in the current directory? Make sure the "*" is not quoted. What was your exact command? What OS are you running?
- Phil
Yes, there are. Your code is correct, it's working, it's just I don't know how to integrate it into my current ExifTool order using another one -execute, this is the problem:

I meant the one that didn't work.
This is my code, of course don't work ;D

Two problems.
1. You added an "exiftool" that shouldn't be there.
2. You want to process different directories with this command, so the -common_args don't apply.
Try this:
exiftool \
-d '%Y-%m-%d %H.%M.%S' -ext 'arw' -ext 'dng' -ext 'jpg' -ext 'jpeg' -ext 'nef' -ext 'tif' -ext 'tiff' -IPTC:all= -XMP:all= -Photoshop:all= \

'-FileName<${ModifyDate}.${SubSecTime;$_=substr($_.'0',0,2)}.${FileTypeExtension}' \
'-FileName<${CreateDate}.${SubSecTimeDigitized;$_=substr($_.'0',0,2)}.${FileTypeExtension}' \
'-FileName<${DateTimeOriginal}.${SubSecTimeOriginal;$_=substr($_.'0',0,2)}.${FileTypeExtension}' \
-r -overwrite_original . -execute \

Thanks Phil, your code is working perfectly, but only in .. When I try to hardcode a path in the -d option (for using the code in a shell script), two problems arise:
1.- The code to sync the FileName to the FileModifyDate, breaks
2.- Error: File not found - ./*-1.*, the rename breaks as well
This is the code I used, modified my me:
exiftool \
-d '/Users/user/Pictures/%Y/%m/%Y-%m-%d %H.%M.%S' -ext 'arw' -ext 'dng' -ext 'jpg' -ext 'jpeg' -ext 'nef' -ext 'tif' -ext 'tiff' -IPTC:all= -XMP:all= -Photoshop:all= \
'-FileName<${FileModifyDate}%-c.${FileTypeExtension}' '-FileName<${MetadataDate}%-c.${FileTypeExtension}' \
'-FileName<${ModifyDate}%-c.${FileTypeExtension}' '-FileName<${CreateDate}%-c.${FileTypeExtension}' '-FileName<${DateTimeOriginal}%-c.${FileTypeExtension}' \
'-FileName<${ModifyDate}.${SubSecTime;$_=substr($_.'0',0,2)}.${FileTypeExtension}' \
'-FileName<${CreateDate}.${SubSecTimeDigitized;$_=substr($_.'0',0,2)}.${FileTypeExtension}' \
'-FileName<${DateTimeOriginal}.${SubSecTimeOriginal;$_=substr($_.'0',0,2)}.${FileTypeExtension}' \

-api largefilesupport=1 '-FileName<${CreateDate}%-c.${FileTypeExtension}' '-FileName<${CreationDate}%-c.${FileTypeExtension}' \

The "./*-1.*" won't work after you have moved the files to "/mnt/zfast/Users/vicmarto/Pictures/Fototeca/%Y/%m/".
Unfortunately this is complicated because you have %Y/%m in the directory name. You could change "./*-1.*" to this:
"/mnt/zfast/Users/vicmarto/Pictures/Fototeca/*/*/*-1.*"
But that would unnecessarily scan all of your pictures, and not only the ones that you have just renamed.
I can't think of a good way around this.
- Phil
I see now where is the problem, well don't worry, thank you very much anyway for your patience ;)
About the other problem? It's possible to make the "code to sync the FileName to the FileModifyDate" work when an output directory is hardcoded into the -d option?
-d '/Users/user/Pictures/%Y/%m/%Y-%m-%d %H.%M.%S'
Hardcoded is fine, but %Y/%m is not hard coded... it uses whatever date/time is contained in the file. I already provided the only work-around I can think of for this case.

Ok... I see now where is the problem. A big thanks fo you and StarGeek!!
I want from here to recommend ExifTool to everyone, regardless of the workflow you use, or the photo management software you use: ExifTool is perfect for you. To ordering, importing and renaming photos. It is very flexible and powerful, and the support is top notch !!
