Failed Condition

[nitinkan]

How do I go about getting a list of files that "failed condition" (-if)?

You could do this, but it would be a separate command:

exiftool -aaa -if "not CONDITION" DIR

Either that, or add -v to the original command and look for lines with "(failed condition)".

I would like to get a list of (failed condition) files formatted in a way that can then be programmatically re-processed from the same (windows) batch file.

Trying to do the following:
- If DateTimeOriginal exists, rename files with DateTimeOriginal.
- For failed condition files, set AllDates and Filename to FileModifyDate.

Is there a way to store the failed condition list in some sort of global/persistent variable using .ExifTool_config?  Or can this be done in some other manner via perl or windows batch scripts?  Looking for ideas to do this without manual intervention ...

This can be done in one command using a little trick from this post:

exiftool "-filename<filemodifydate" "-filename<datetimeoriginal" "-alldates<${filemodifydate#;$_ = undef if $self->GetValue('DateTimeOriginal')}" -d YOUR_FILENAME_DATE_FORMATTING DIR
