Hello,
Being quite a newbie, I don't manage to find the right syntax for the following project:
I currently have files organised as such:
folder A/folder B/file1.jpg
folder A/folder B/file2.jpg
folder A/folder B/file3.jpg
folder A/folder C/file4.jpg
folder A/folder C/file5.jpg
I would need to automatically rename the files so that they become:
folder B - file 1.jpg
folder B - file 2.jpg
folder C - file 4.jpg
Sorry, but after a few hours of attempts, I still don't manage to find the right command line on. Could anybody please help me?
Thank you very much in advance.
Antoine
Hi Antoine,
This will get you close to what you want:
exiftool "-filename=%-1:D - %f.%e" DIR
But it will give "file1" in the name instead of "file 1" (you added a space before the number that I am not doing).
Add a -r to the command to process sudbirectories recursively. You should try this on a test directory first to be sure it is doing what you want. (As well, it is a good idea to use TestName instead of FileName in the command to do a test run first).
