Title: Organizing files test run
Post by: dwlott on January 27, 2022, 10:13:15 PM
Hi,
Love the EXIFTOOL.  Very fun.
Is there a testing option to get a report on what the resultant tree would look like after a rename command?  Then if the report looks good, we could rerun the command without the testing option and feel better about organizing a folder of files recursively. 

I thought I read something about being able to run a test but now can't find it.

Use TestName instead of Filename.

See Writing "FileName" and "Directory" tags (https://exiftool.org/filename.html)
