I'm starting the exif tool in my Synology NAS.
When I rename many photos it would be kind to see the progress.

Is there anything in this direction?

There's no bar, but you can get a running count of affected files with the -progress option.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype

For a progress bar, use -progress:%30b

This gives you a progress bar of width 30 characters in the window title bar.
