Hello,
I'm using exiftool via cygwin on windows 10. My photo archive is currently organized by year and month thanks to the exiftool command I use every time I want to add some photos:
exiftool -d "%Y/%m/%Y-%m-%d_%H.%M.%S%%-c.%%e" "-filename<datetimeoriginal" "import/folder"
My first question is: can I improve the command by using "-filename<filemodifydate" "-filename<createdata" "-filename<datetimeoriginal" so that even the very old photos savaged from an old broken hard disk can be organized as well?
I would also like to organize my photo archive by camera model named folder (like "canon1000D/year/month" and "nikonD200/year/month"), is it possible to do so with a single exiftool command?
Thanks in advance. And sorry for my very bad English.

Yes. ("CreateDate" not "CreateData")

Yes. Something like this:
exiftool -d "%Y/%m/%Y-%m-%d_%H.%M.%S%%-c.%%e" "-filename<${model;}/$filemodifydate" "-filename<${model;}/$createdate" "-filename<${model;}/$datetimeoriginal" "import/folder"But you will have to do some reformatting of the Model tag to get the exact model name you want. You can do this with an advanced formatting expression (as I have done above to remove illegal characters), or create a user-defined tag (see here for an example (https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php/topic,8980.msg46436.html#msg46436)).
