Title: How to rename recovered .jpg files to original Canon names in windows 10?
Post by: gczerw on October 22, 2016, 05:01:15 PM

Using photorec, I have recovered a few thousand .jpg files that are in 5 directories. I have tried the following command, found on the "http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/After_Using_PhotoRec" page, to no avail!

The following command recreates the original directory layout and file names present on the card (for Canon cameras, tested with numerous photos from an EOS 20D), using the file number EXIF info. ExifTool works under both Windows and Linux.

exiftool -r '-FileName<IMG_${FileIndex}%c.%e' DIR

It uses FileIndex from EXIF information in file to rename to original filename, the %c is checking for duplicate names and appends other digit to the name. And it works recursively (-r).

As a test, I have placed one .jpg file in the "new" directory and have tried the following, with the result shown:

C:\Users\George\Downloads\testdisk-7.0\recover\new>exiftool "-FileName<IMG_${FileIndex}%c.%e" .
Warning: [minor] Tag 'FileIndex' not defined - ./IMG_102-0631.jpg
Warning: No writable tags set from ./IMG_102-0631.jpg

Can someone tell me what is wrong here? File information shown below.

exiftool -r '-FileName<IMG_${FileIndex}%c.%e' DIR

It uses FileIndex from EXIF information in file to rename to original filename

... but FileIndex was not available in the output you gave. There was a FileNumber tag though:

exiftool -r '-filename<IMG${FileNumber;s/.*-//}%c.%e' DIR

Here I have removed the directory number from the start of FileNumber using the advanced formatting expression s/.*-//

However the file has neither been renamed or moved elsewhere....

This could happen if there were an invisible character (eg. a space) in the file extension. Otherwise, there is something funny that is wrong with your disk. I would try typing this:

rename "dead<tab> test.jpg

(press the tab key to complete the name, then rename the file to something you know)

Okay, that worked. Attached is the output of:

It is too long to paste...

Post by: Phil Harvey on October 24, 2016, 07:59:24 AM

I don't know why you posted the output of that command. I suggested adding -v3 to the command where you are trying to write FileName. But it seems the problem is that there were invisible characters in the file name so ExifTool didn't process it.

I wonder if the "%" characters are causing a problem (although I am surprised that ExifTool didn't receive an error status when the rename failed). You only need the doubled "%" characters in the argument to -d or in a .BAT file. Try this:

exiftool -v3 "-filename<IMG${FileNumber;s/.*-//}%c.%e" .

OK. That should have worked. I have never seen this specific problem before but try disabling your antivirus software to see if it is preventing ExifTool from renaming the file. Also, you may try a simpler command and try a different file. (eg. exiftool -filename=test2.txt test1.txt)

Interesting that I'm getting results on the Windows 8.1 machine. The filenames were changed in the current directory. However but no appropriate Canon numbered directories were created and no files were moved.

Canon DCIM directory nomenclature is, for example 111_10, and filename nomenclature is IMG_xxxx.jpg. So how should I proceed to get those results?

Did you try turning off Windows Defender on the Windows 10 machine?

To also set the directory to ###_## as you described, you could do this:

exiftool "-filename<${FileNumber;tr/-/_/;$_=substr($_,0,6)}/IMG${FileNumber;s/.*-//}%c.%e" .

1. Defender was off on the Windows 10 machine.

2. That command did NOTHING on the Windows 8.1 machine (defender also off on it). But it says that it did!!! I can't find that new directory or file anywhere!

Have you already tried moving the file by hand? It could be that you simply do not have enough rights on those files and directories (though in that case I would have expected an error from exiftool too).

I have no problem renaming files, creating directories and moving files manually. I am trying to avoid doing this because there are well over 2,000 of them. That's why I was hoping that exiftool would be able to do this for me. But alas, for me, windows is not playing nicely with exiftool.

Title: Re: How to rename recovered .jpg files to original Canon names in windows 10?
Post by: Phil Harvey on October 25, 2016, 11:21:09 AM

I'll run some tests myself when I can and post back here if I come up with any other ideas. One possibility is this:

exiftool -p "mkdir ${filenumber;tr/-/_/;$_=substr($_,0,6)}" -p "move $directory\$filename ${filenumber;tr/-/_/;$_=substr($_,0,6)}\IMG${FileNumber;s/.*-//}.${filename;s/.*\.//}" . > do_rename.bat

Then type "do_rename" to run the batch file and rename/move the files. Check the .bat file first to make sure it looks good. The only problem here is that you can't use %c, and I don't know what the windows "move" command does if it finds a duplicate file name.

Thanks for your help and patience! The last instruction worked well for me. I had to use the Bulk Rename Utility to get the additional "_" into the filenames, but it was easy to do! Now all I have to do is get those images back onto the camera so that it recognizes them! Simply copying them back onto the memory card doesn't allow them to be recognized by the camera. There must be a way to reindex so that the camera knows that those images are there.

Post by: Phil Harvey on October 26, 2016, 12:48:43 PM

Ah, right. I forgot you wanted an underscore after "IMG". This would have been the command then:

exiftool -p "mkdir ${filenumber;tr/-/_/;$_=substr($_,0,6)}" -p "move $directory\$filename ${filenumber;tr/-/_/;$_=substr($_,0,6)}\IMG_${FileNumber;s/.*-//}.${filename;s/.*\.//}" . > do_rename.bat

There may be other support files on the camera that are needed. I can't help much with that, but you should be able to figure it out by taking a couple of pictures with the camera then looking at the files on the memory card.

Thanks for the reply. The Canon utilities are a PITA. I finally figured out that after taking 1 picture, the camera indexed the 3 files that I had copied onto the card manually. So I just removed the card, placed it into my PC, and copied the 40 directories containing all of the files back onto the card. When I put the card back into the camera and turned it on, it saw and re-indexed everything!

If you ever have any inkling regarding why windows was so problematic, and want me to test something, I'd be happy to.

Post by: Phil Harvey on October 27, 2016, 10:07:14 AM

Glad you figured out the camera situation.

Regarding the renaming problem: Did you ever try a simpler command to see if it works?:

exiftool -filename=test2.txt test1.txt

(making sure that test1.txt exists and test2.txt doesn't before executing the command)

OK, thanks. I just tried this simple command on my Windows 10 machine and it worked fine. Also, I haven't seen anyone else with problems like yours, so we have narrowed it down to something different about your Windows 10 system. I'll post back here if I have any more ideas.

Interesting, I ran that command a second time and got the following:

C:\Users\George\Downloads\testdisk-7.0\recover>exiftool -filename=test2.jpg IMG_200.jpg
Error: 'test2.jpg' already exists - IMG_200.jpg
0 image files updated
1 files weren't updated due to errors

But when I issued a dir command, test2.jpg is nowhere to be seen!

Can exiftool read test2.jpg?

Post by: Phil Harvey on October 28, 2016, 07:22:51 AM

Yes. This is was I was expecting would happen. It seems that Windows somehow maintains two names for each file, and for some reason they aren't properly synchronized for this file. Are there perhaps some system settings to allow old 8.3 file names? A wild guess is that maybe this has something to do with the 8.3 file name settings. You could try disabling this. See example 5 here (https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/josebda/2012/11/13/windows-server-2012-file-server-tip-disable-8-3-naming-and-strip-those-short-names-too/) for how to do this on a volume, or apparently this command does it on a system-wide basis:

Code Select

reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem" /v "NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

Apparently doing this will also make the filesystem more efficient (ref (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc615012(v=bts.10).aspx)).

I tried, but it made no difference! See below:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>fsutil 8dot3name set c: 1
Successfully disabled 8dot3name generation on c:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>fsutil 8dot3name strip /s /v c:\
<SNIP>
Total affected registry keys: 502

The operation failed because registry entries refer to 8dot3 names in the
specified path.
For details on the affected registry keys please see the log:
"C:\Users\George\AppData\Local\Temp\8dot3_removal_log @(GMT 2016-10-28 13-02-00).log"

BTW -- That logfile is 241kb in size!

OK. Well it was just a shot in the dark.

Windows is a peculiar beast.
