Title: using exiftool to move AVI files with RIFF tag originaldatetime

Hi Phil,

I am wanting to use exiftool to move AVI files from my camera the same as I do jpeg files. In my AVI files there is a RIFF tag of originaldatetime but I have not figured out a way to have exiftool use this tag for the -d switch to create directories and move files accordingly.  Does exiftool support this functionality?  If so can you post an example of its use.

I want to say thank you for providing such a wonderful tool and keeping up with the support like you do.  I am using exiftool on XP with a python wrapper to make it somewhat menu driven and it works great.

TIA,
nwhorseman

Thanks for pointing out this oversight.  I had forgotten to add the necessary
print conversion for the RIFF DateTimeOriginal tag.  This problem has been
fixed.  Version 6.58 contains this update and is now available from the
ExifTool home page.
