Hallo everyone,
I edit the exif via a arg-File. Here is it:
-charset
filename=latin
-ext
jpg
-overwrite_original
-DateTimeOriginal>ModifyDate
-DateTimeOriginal>CreateDate
-DateTimeOriginal>FileModifyDate
-DateTimeOriginal>FileCreateDate
-DateTimeOriginal>IPTC:DateCreated
#-DateTimeOriginal>IPTC:DigitalCreationDate
#-DateTimeOriginal>IPTC:DigitalCreationTime
-d
%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S%%-c
-FileName<$DateTimeOriginal.%e
-FileName<$DateTimeOriginal-${title;tr/ /_/}.%e
Now the question: Is there a posibiliy to get the new filename, witch is created bei exiftool to use it further in a batchfile.
Thanks for any hints

The only thing I can think of is to add the -v option to the command, then capture the console output of the ExifTool command and search for a line like this:
'FROMFILE' --> 'TOFILE'
This will tell you the original name of the file and the new name.

I've worked out a rather convoluted way to do this. This uses bash but you should be able to convert it to a dos batchfile.
In the arg file, put the new file name into another tag that is not being used. I've used artist.
Another invocation of exiftool puts the new file name into an environment variable
Another invocation of exiftool changes the file name
Et voilà, the new filename is available in the environment variable in the shell.
My file is called test1.jpg
My test.arg is
-artist=test2.jpg
My shell script is:
#!/bin/sh
oldname=${1}
ls -l test*
echo "myphotoenv: ${myphotoenv}"
exiftool -@ test.arg ${oldname}
echo "oldname ${oldname}"
exiftool -a -G -artist ${oldname}
myphotoenv=`exiftool -s3 -artist ${oldname}`
echo "myphotoenv: ${myphotoenv}"
exiftool '-filename<artist' ${oldname}
ls -l test*
I run:
./whatname.sh test1.jpg
Output is:
-rw-r--r-- 1 alan staff 18 4 May 19:21 test.arg
-rw-r--r-- 1 alan staff 4270416 4 May 19:59 test1.jpg
myphotoenv:

oldname test1.jpg
[EXIF] Artist : test2.jpg
myphotoenv: test2.jpg
