Right now it works like
-tagsfromfile "img1.jpg" so it is needs to put always filename
I trying to find solution to auto define img1.jpg as first image by filename order (or any other order)
for example
-tagsfromfile #autodefinefirst -fileorder filenameMaybe exist some solution to change it through .exiftool_config to define -tagsfromfile value as first file in fileorder?
Explanation why i need this:
i trying to work with alot of photo series for Google Photo to add them as Burst photo (burst photo in google photo looks like 1 photo with value count of photo and all photo inside this Burst)
and now i have discomfort pain to put those name through ExifToolGUI everytime
-tagsfromfile "img_20230405_121345.jpg" "-filename<IMG_${DateTimeOriginal}-BURST%nC.%e" -d %Y%m%d_%H%M%S -fileorder filename .because this command for those files
img_20230405_121345.jp
img_20230405_132300.jpg
set date of selected one to filenames of all files ( exactly what i need), like this
img_20230405_121345-BURST1.jpg
img_20230405_121345-BURST2.jpg
And i using command through ExifToolGUI (still best GUI app on planet)
Thx in advance!
You could do this in two steps:
1. exiftool -echo -tagsfromfile -filename -s3 -q -fileorder filename -if "EndDir()" DIR > out.args
2. exiftool -@ out.args -fileorder filename "-filename<IMG_${DateTimeOriginal}-BURST%nC.%e" -d %Y%m%d_%H%M%S DIR
I'm not sure how this would be done through the GUI.

Hi Phil
i tested today - it doesn't work =(
GUI can't work with this command
-echo -tagsfromfile -filename -s3 -q -fileorder filename -if "EndDir()" DIR > out.argsand shows up this error
-tagsfromfile
Error: File not found - out.args
<-END-
gui uses last version of exiftool
