Title: Batch Rename Files
Post by: DELETEACCOUNT on December 11, 2012, 05:56:51 AM

Hi!

I have some files in one folder:

abcdefg.JPG
ddjasd.JPG
dckdas.MOV
Adfevd.PNG

and i want them to be renamed to:

event 1.JPG
event 2.JPG
event 3.MOV
event 4.PNG

until now i used the software tool "NameChanger" (MAC)... but im wondering if i could also do this with exiftools?
What would be the exact line to enter?

You can use this command to do what you want:

exiftool -filename="event %nC.%e" *.*
