ExifTool Forum

This is the example I am trying to modify:

exiftool '-FileName<CreateDate' -d %Y%m%d_%H%M%S%%-c.%%e dir

I would like to include the make and model tags along with the createdate tag in the FileName.

This is in a bash script that I am writing. I tried creating a user defined shortcut for it but I get a token error when I run it.

Here is what I have so far:

%Image::ExifTool::UserDefined::Shortcuts = (
        MyShortcut => ['exif:make','model','createdate'],
        MyAlias => "Final",
);

exiftool -r -d %Y/%m/%d/image_%H%M%S.%%e "-testname<Final" finalfiles/IMG_8099.JPG

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try something like
exiftool '-FileName<${CreateDate}_${exif:make;}_${Model;}' -d %Y%m%d_%H%M%S%%-c.%%e dir

I added a semicolon to the end of the make and model tags because that will try and make the tag safe for a filename (removes slashes, colons, question marks, etc).

%Image::ExifTool::UserDefined::Shortcuts = (
        MyShortcut => ['exif:make','model','createdate'],
        MyAlias => "Final",
);

exiftool -r -d %Y/%m/%d/image_%H%M%S.%%e "-testname<Final" finalfiles/IMG_8099.JPG

You're making a shortcut tag called MyAlias for the tag Final, but there isn't a tag called Final (afaik).  You would want Final to be
[code]%Image::ExifTool::UserDefined::Shortcuts = (
        Final=> ['exif:make','model','createdate'],
);

But using the Final tag as you plan, each tag in the shortcut will be separated by a CommaSpace ", " or if you use the -sep option, whatever you designate as the separator. 

Example output:
