Hi Phil,

I am wanting to use exiftool to move AVI files from my camera the same as I do jpeg files. In my AVI files there is a RIFF tag of originaldatetime but I have not figured out a way to have exiftool use this tag for the -d switch to create directories and move files accordingly.  Does exiftool support this functionality?  If so can you post an example of its use.

I want to say thank you for providing such a wonderful tool and keeping up with the support like you do.  I am using exiftool on XP with a python wrapper to make it somewhat menu driven and it works great.

TIA,
nwhorseman

Thanks for pointing out this oversight.  I had forgotten to add the necessary
print conversion for the RIFF DateTimeOriginal tag.  This problem has been
fixed.  Version 6.58 contains this update and is now available from the
https://exiftool.org/" target="_blank">ExifTool home page.
