Using the script C:\Programme\Exiftools\exiftool "-FileName<CreateDate" -d "%Y%m%d_%H%M%S.%%e" K:\CanonBak  to rename a set of pics recorded with my camera in burst mode, I am getting errors, because the same exif date/time stamp is found, due to the speed of the camera recording several pics per second. A useful feature would be to automatically add some extra numbering for pics having the same date/time value.

You mean like "%c"?   ("%%c" inside the date-formatting string)

See this page for an explanation and examples.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

Thank you Phil. Exactly what I needed, but was not aware of it.
