Hello.
How can i make this in a easy way:
1. Rename "xxx.jpg" to "new_createdate.jpg" but keep the original file in the original folder
2. move "new_createdate.jpg" to a new folder
Thank you for your help.
like this:
exiftool -o NEWFOLDER/ "-filename<NEW_$createdate.%e" -d "SOME_DATE_FORMATTING" xxx.jpg
here, xxx.jpg may be a folder name to act on all images in that folder. See the FileName page (https://exiftool.org/filename.html) for more details and help with date formatting codes.
- Phil
Thank you.
This is what i use now:
exiftool -o NEWFOLDER/ "-filename<NEW_$createdate.%e" -d %Y%m%d *.jpg
But i have this error:
Warning: [minor] Tag 'createdate' not defined -
Error: No file specified -
0 image files updated
1 files weren't updated due to errors
If CreateDate doesn't exist in the file then you need to find some other date/time tag that does. Use this command to see them:
exiftool -time:all -s FILE
- Phil
Is there no CreateDate or can i use an other tag?

This should work then, as long as you use the same file in the other command.

Ok it works now. thanks.
How can i put a counter in the filename? Like this: file1_001, file2_002 and so on?
exiftool -o Bearbeitet/ "-filename<NEW_(COUNTER 001)_$createdate.%e" -d %d.%m.%Y *.jpg
All percent characters need to be doubled in .bat files

Look at the %C feature in the -w option section of the application documentation (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html). I think you probably want %1.3C
- Phil
Wow thats great.
This is my batch file:
@echo off
:eingabe
set /p Bildname=Namen eingeben:
:: initialise some variables that can be practical...
set BatFileDir=%~dp0
:: Start to do the real work
echo Busy processing file %1
"%BatFileDir%\"exiftool -o Bearbeitet/%Bildname%/ "-filename<%Bildname% $createdate (%%1.3C).%%e" -d %%d.%%m.%%Y *.jpg "-Caption-Abstract<%Bildname% $createdate (%%1.3C).%%e -d %%d.%%m.%%Y *.jpg"
echo.
:: If an error occured, pause...
if %errorlevel% neq 0 pause
pause
The only problem is that "-Caption-Abstract<%Bildname% $createdate (%%1.3C).%%e -d %%d.%%m.%%Y *.jpg" not work. It write London 22.02.2015 (%1.3C).%e -d %d.%m.%Y *.jpg but London 22.02.2015 (001) is right.
Ive also tried "-Caption-Abstract<BaseName" or "-Caption-Abstract<filename" but this wrote the original filename DSC_2641
The %e and %C are only meaningful when written to a file name.
To store the FileName in Caption-Abstract, do this in a separate command after setting FileName:
exiftool "-caption-abstract<filename" DIR
