Last post by jacky - Today at 04:37:45 AM

I just found a solution:
https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q27
which was mentioned in this post:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/72407154/17058700

Now I'm using the doubled percents in the date expression

Code Select Expand

exiftool "-FileName<FileModifyDate" "-FileName<CreateDate" -d "%%Y-%%m-%%d_%%%%f.%%%%e" .in a batch file which generates the filename "2017-10-03_ram_1.jpg" which is exactly what I wanted.

So far I'm contented

The "exiftool" Application / jpg Exif CreateDate as prefix ...

Last post by jacky - Today at 02:34:39 AM

Hi,

when I print the data of my ram_1.jpg - file I got all the values, see attached log.txt.
The date is printed as (german layout):

Code Select Expand

Create Date                     : 2017:10:03 11:27:27.069474
Date/Time Original              : 2017:10:03 11:27:27.069474
Modify Date                     : 2017:10:03 11:27:27.069474
I'm searching for hours now in this forum and in Google how to prefix the Exif-date into the filename and it still doesn't work.

E.g. trying

Code Select Expand

exiftool -d "%Y%m%d-%H%M%%-03.c.%%e" "-filename<CreateDate" .results in

Code Select Expand

Warning: [minor] Unrecognized MakerNotes - ./ram_1.jpg
    1 directories scanned
    1 image files updatedand creates a file "mHe" (without extension).

Or

Code Select Expand

exiftool -fileOrder DateTimeOriginal -recurse -extension jpg -extension jpeg -ignoreMinorErrors "-FileName<CreateDate" -d "%Y-%m-%d%%-.3nc.%%e" .results in

Code Select Expand

Warning: Error rebuilding maker notes (may be corrupt) - ./ram_1.jpg
    1 directories scanned
    1 image files updatedand creates a file "m-e" without extension.

Trying to set the colons in our german date FMT string

Code Select Expand

exiftool -d "%Y:%m:%d %H:%M%g" "-filename<CreateDate" .reports

Code Select Expand

Warning: New file name not allowed in Windows (contains ':') - ./ram_1.jpg
    1 directories scanned
    0 image files updated
    1 files weren't updated due to errors
Could you help me how to manage this date prefix into the jpg filename?

I've got so many images and this would help me a lot. 

Thanks in advance.

Newbies / Re: Help wih renaming files

Last post by MnM - Today at 01:24:01 AM

I have tried to make this work but I am encountering issues.

Below are the commands that I using to rename and move files:

Prepare files for correct suffix 001, 002 etc

Code Select Expand

exiftool "-FileName<Datetimeoriginal" -d "%Y-%m-%%.3nc.%%e" -fileorder datetimeoriginal -ext jpg -r Z:/Uploads/PhotosAndVideos/Photos

Rename and move to correct folders

Code Select Expand

exiftool "-FileName<Datetimeoriginal" -d "Z:/Photos/%Y/%m-%b-%Y/%d-%m-%Y-%H-%M-%S-%%-3f.%%e" -ext jpg Z:/Uploads/PhotosAndVideos/Photos
Next I am trying to run a second pass on the folders created above (so i can rename the suffixes correctly) but I have no idea how to make it scan only the folders (year/months) that were created above.
I need help with this part please.

Thank you - I guess is not too bad and I can run a second pass to get the numbering correct.

Thanks for providing exiftool.
For me there is no urgency to this, but I was just curious.

The "exiftool" Application / Re: Add timezone to MOV video ...

Last post by StarGeek - May 23, 2024, 04:45:38 PM

I always feel that writing directly to Time:All is a bad idea because it writes so many tags. Using it with the -wm w is about the only reasonable exception.

And the reason I suggest writing the -OffsetTime* tags over the Canon (and Nikon) specific TimeZone is due to the interaction with the DaylightSavings tag. TimeZone is supposed to contain the base time zone without regards to any possible Daylight Savings time change. For example, for Eastern time zone, it should always remain set at -05:00.  The DaylightSavings is the indicator for when the camera is supposed to add an hour or not.

Last post by wywh - May 23, 2024, 04:01:02 PM

I would suggest also including the OffsetTime* tags

That is a good point although there is already Canon:TimeZone tag.

...as I said, I ignore these Canon thumbnail tags but just for fun I experimented...

This nicely edits additional Canon movie thumbnail TimeZone, TimeZoneCity, and DaylightSavings tags as well as ExifIFD:DateTimeOriginal, CreateDate, and IFD0:ModifyDate:

I'll patch this in 12.85.  But you will still have to use the -m switch if the 'moov' atom is larger than 32 MB.

Thanks, it works OK in v12.85. When reading -m switch is needed to see full output with such movies. Without -m it reads as:

Code Select Expand

And it might be better to use .jpg instead .png for CoverArt anyway so the movies do not bloat.

Newbies / Re: Help wih renaming files

Last post by StarGeek - May 23, 2024, 11:27:10 AM

No, I do not believe there is a way to automatically start the count based upon the counter of a previously existing file.  You would need a script to figure out what the highest number in the folder was and then pass that to exiftool, and this would need to be done separately for each folder.

The easiest thing to do would be to copy the new files normally and then run a second pass to rename to correct the count.
