I'm putting together a batch file in Windows to rename bunches of files for me. The final format intended is:
05pm-03m-24s F4.5 at 1_1244th sec (1090-301).jpg
The command I'm using is:
exiftool -k -d "%%I%%p-%%Mmin-%%Ssec" "-FileName<%%f_${CreateDate} F${FNumber} at
th sec (${FileNumber}).%%e" *.jpg
The problem I'm having is indicated by the. If I put in ${ExposureTime} then new directories get created. I presume this is because there are / in the "ExposureTime" tag and the / is telling exiftool to create a new directory. If this is indeed the problem, how can I avoid this. Also, because Windows doesn't like "/" in filenames, how can I change the "/" to an underscore?
Thanks

You can do this with a user-defined Composite tag. The following
config file defines a MyExposureTime tag to convert the slash to
an underline:
See the config file documentation for details about how to activate
the config file.

'Image::ExifTool::Composite' => {
MyExposureTime => {
Require => 'ExposureTime',
ValueConv => '$prt[0] =~ s{/}{_}; $prt[0]',
},
},
);
1; # end
'Image::ExifTool::Composite' => {
MyExposureTime => {
Require => 'ExposureTime',
ValueConv => '$prt[0] =~ s{/}{_}; $prt[0]',
},

You're the best, Phil.
I've tried to figure out as much of this stuff as possible before asking any questions, but I wasn't even on the right track with this one. That little composite-tag did the trick. Exiftool is truly awesome and so are you.
Thanks again
