Title: renaming files
Post by: pedroparamo on November 25, 2013, 04:14:52 PM
How can I rename a folder of files whose names are 11182013-1.JPG_original etc. back to their original names i.e. 11182013-1.JPG or in other words delete the _original extension on each file name?

Thanks.

Hi Pedro,

exiftool -restore_original DIR

where "DIR" is the name of the folder.

Where 'DIR' is the path to the folder? i.e.

exiftool -restore_original c:theFolder

thanks.

You can just drag and drop the folder onto the command window if it is easier for you.
