How to combine file renaming and directory copy into one single command

[TBeach]

I like to rename the files and then copy them into date/time stamp folders.

Currenty, I am using the two command lines below. This works very well.

Now, I like to know if it is possible to run one single ExifTool command that combines both file renaming function, and the folder creation/copy function?

In other words, merge the two commands into one single command.

exiftool "-FileName<${Model} ${DateTimeOriginal;}_${ShutterCount; $_ = substr('000000'.$_,-6)}.%e" -d "%Y-%m-%d__%H-%M-%S" -r C:\temp\exiftest\input

exiftool -o . "-Directory<DateTimeOriginal" -d %Y-%m-%d -r C:\temp\exiftest\input

I don't think you can, as that would be processing 2 files at the same time, renaming the base file and then copying that file to another directory.

Technically, you could combine them with the -execute option, but there wouldn't be any real advantage to doing so as you would still be running two separate commands.  Also, it would make troubleshooting an error harder.

I understand.
Thanks anyway for a quick answer!
