I have been searching and scouring for hours and this really is just not my thing. I'm just looking to rename my photos into a standard format. I've created the NOSSAFLISO convention as a general naming for all my files and I'm looking for a template to rename files into. Just for context so you know what I need help with:
NO = Number (the number of the image output by the camera - or shutter count will do!)
SS = Shutter Speed
A = Aperture
FL = Focal Length
ISO = ISO Value
For example:
IMGP2316.JPG
into
NO2316_SS1/100_A5.6_FL55mm_ISO200.jpg
And even if that's doable - remove the '1/' before the shutter speed and the 'mm' after the focal length!
Can this be done with exiftool? I can't for the life of me figure out how to implement multiple tags into renaming!!
The command could be something like this:
exiftool "-filename<NO${shuttercount}_SS${shutterspeed;s(1/)()}_A${aperture}_FL${focallength#}_ISO${iso}.%e" DIR
For this to work, all of the tags must be available (ShutterCount, ShutterSpeed, etc).

Phil you legend! That's perfect. I was so close with my attempts but my head was just going around in circles.
Is there a way to turn this into a mac application/script? Again I've tried for hours to no avail...
Thanks for taking the time to reply!

This AppleScript should do it:
set imageFolder to quoted form of POSIX path of (choose folder)
set baseETCommand to "usr/local/bin/exiftool '-filename<NO${shuttercount}_SS${shutterspeed;s(1/)()}_A${aperture}_FL${focallength#}_ISO${iso}.%e' " --nb space before double quote
set combinedCommand to baseETCommand & imageFolder
do shell script combinedCommandIt could be saved as a script application or rolled up into an Automator workflow. But the details may be a bit off scope for this forum...
Thanks Hubert! I know it's not specifically related to this forum and definitely out of scope. I'll give your code a try.
