that's nice but I don't understand how it works
and I would like to include the tag "model" in the filename not only the directory name

Why option -o is impossible in each command above?
How to do the same in one path?

I don't understand the correct way to use $model

Thank you very much

This is closer:

"d:\Portable apps\exiftools\exiftool.exe" -r  "-Filename<$model\$DateTimeOriginal" -d "%Y\%Y-%m-%d\%Y-%m-%d %H-%M-%S %%f.%%e" dir

and gives

But adding the model name to the file name is tricky.  The easiest way is to do it with a second command:

"d:\Portable apps\exiftools\exiftool.exe" -r  "-Filename<$model-%f.%e" -if "$filename !~ /^$model/" .

This will add the model name to any file that doesn't already start with the model name.

There is a way to do this in a single step, but it is a bit more complicated because it requires creating a user-defined tag.
