Batch save Filename and CreateDate into a TXT or Excel file ExifToolGUI

[JEXIF]

Does anyone know if there is a command I can use in ExifToolGUI to save a list of the files with the CreateDate and Filename?

I wish to save a list of the Filename and CreateDate into a single TXT or Excel file to use as a reference.

Thank you

You can create a csv file like this:

Code Select Expand

exiftool -csv -CreateDate path/to/files > path/to/list.csvAnd then convert the csv file to excel.

Thank you for the reply. I am using ExifToolGUI which I believe works differently. Is there a command for the ExifToolGUI version?

I can use Export/Import option in ExifToolGUI but it creates a separate txt file for each video. I am wondering if there is a way to export only the Filename and CreateDate into a single list.


I can not seem to get Exiftool to do what I need through the Cmd. I just tried running that command in the correct folder in Cmd but it did not work. I am probably using it wrong.

What do you mean with ExifToolGui? The program that you can download here?
https://github.com/FrankBijnen/ExifToolGui/releases

If yes, there is a separate section for GUI.

Have a look at the online docs: https://github.com/FrankBijnen/ExifToolGui/blob/main/Docs/ExifToolGUI_V6.md#p_filelist

If it is still not clear post your question there, I will provide you with some screenshots how it can be done.

First add the tag you want (CreateDate) to the filelist.

Open the configuration


Modify the 'User defined', or create a new list with the tag(s) you want.


In the filelist select the files you want. Use CTRL/A for all files.
Click Export/CSV


That will show a save dialog for the CSV file.
