Create Date rename not using the actual date

Hi Phil,

I've tried few of your code lines and none of them is renaming to the actual date. File has a create date

Code Select Expand

Create Date : 2024:08:14 08:44:25
Lets say I use this code

Code Select Expand

exiftool "-FileName<CreateDate" -d %Y-%m-%d.%%e .
and it renames it to:

Code Select Expand

m-e

This could happen if you are running in a .bat file.  For .bat files, all percents must be doubled.

That result is almost certainly the result of a Windows BAT file, a.k.a. FAQ #27, My ExifTool command doesn't work from a Windows .BAT file.
