Title: renaming both pictures and movies in the same way
Post by: dudedude on July 05, 2011, 04:37:29 PM

Hi,

I've been using exif to rename my photos per what was stated in https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php/topic,3307.0.html . I thought it would also rename avi files in the same way (example of input file: MVI_6761.AVI) but it leaves avi files alone. Is there anyway to rename all files (images and movies) in one command such as the one stated in above entry - i.e.:
exiftool "-FileName<CreateDate" -d "%Y%m%d_%H%M%S.our_hawii_vacation.%%e" DIR

Hi Dan,

You are in luck. This is explained by FAQ number 16 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q16).
