Title: Small windows sidecar files renaming tool
Post by: denisk on September 08, 2012, 05:34:36 AM
Hi all,

Here is another windows renaming tool but with buddy or sidecar file renaming capability.
The exif field values can be inserted in the new filename.

ExifMediaRename  uses ExifTool to extract exif fields and use them as renaming patterns for both file and sidecar.

I wrote it at first to rename .mov Canon video files. They come with .thm buddy file which contains extra exif informations.

I found out that ExifTool can do the job but I wanted to have a GUI to be able to check the result before running the rename process on a large number of files.

I don't know if this is of any help and I haven't done extensive testing but feel free to download  (http://sourceforge.net/projects/medialab/)and test it.

Question to Phil: is it possible to include a version of exiftool.exe in the tool installer to have a standalone installation?
It's a open source development. (http://sourceforge.net/projects/medialab/)

And bravo for the ExifTool which is a great peace of software.

Hi Denis,

Sure, you can include exiftool in your installer.
