Title: Download older Mac Version
Post by: JanK on September 23, 2012, 06:19:13 AM
Where can I found older Mac installer versions? Maybe 8.80?
With the newest version
exiftool '-filename<Name_${MyDate}_%1.4C%.20f.%e' -d %Y-%m-%d -fileorder MyDate# DIR
will not affect files that are shorter than 20 characters. Because of %.20f
But I know with older version it works for shorter files too. It generates the name without the %.20f
So I will test if I am right with an older version.

Looking at the code, it looks like %.20f should return nothing for file names 20 characters or less.  The purpose of %.20f is to skip the first 20 characters of the file name.  However, old versions of exiftool have not been deleted from the alternate ExifTool home page (see the README in the full distribution -- I won't post a link because this URL may change).
