I often use the "move to date folder" feature to organize my pictures. Sometimes there is a name conflict though, so I would very much like a general option for ExifTool which will adjust the filename if there is a conflict.
For example, if there is a file already called Img_8042.jpg the moved file would be called Img_8042b.jpg or the like.
Thanks for a great tool btw!
Ps. Why is it not in the Linux repositories?

You can add
%lc to the file name to do exactly this (ie.
"-filename<$createdate/%f%lc.%e")
