Hi,

Can exiftool rename a file such as "IMG_1234.JPG" to "081227-1234.JPG" where the "IMG_" is replaced with the date yymmdd?

where FILE is one or more file or directory names.

The %%-4f takes the last 4 characters of the filename.

I suggest adding the -v option when you run this command
so you can see what files have been renamed to what.
