Rename photos by datetimeoriginal and calculate kids age

aage · July 21, 2014, 11:50:11 AM

Hi

I actually works – thanks a lot ;-)

What I have done so far is the following passes and my below question relates to Step 2:

STEP 1: RENAME files

exiftool -config Aage3.config -ext MOD -ext JPG –ext AVI -ext avi -ext MPG -r '-filename<$myfilename%+.4nc.%e' /Users/Aagesen/ExifTool_ExportFile/Oprindelig_Mappe

STEP 2: Delete all "old, stupid and un-wanted" XMP-tags

? ? ?

STEP 3: Add XMP-tags to all files

exiftool '-subject<${filename;s/_\d+\..*$//;}' -sep "_" -r /Users/Aagesen/ExifTool_ExportFile/Oprindelig_Mappe

STEP 4: Move files to new folder-structure

exiftool -ext AVI -ext JPG '-directory</Users/Aagesen/ExifTool_ExportFile/Billeder_Efter_Dato/$datetimeoriginal/' -d "%Y/%m" -r /Users/Aagesen/ExifTool_ExportFile/Oprindelig_Mappe

I have been reading about tags and there is apparently A LOT to consider and I am afraid that I will miss something out – so therefor this question:

Before adding my new XMP-tags in Step 3, I would like to ensure that there are no "old, stupid and un-wanted" tags in my files. I would like to write a command that deletes all "old, stupid and un-wanted" tags that are shown in Picasa before I run Step 3. The command should not delete all META-data at all ;-)

So my new command should delete all "old, stupid and un-wanted" tags only leaving me with the following tags in Picasa:

Example-File "Canon_02102011_L4Y2M_J1Y5M_0001.JPG" now have the following tags in Picasa :
L4Y2M
J1Y5M
Canon
02102011

Quistion: What should the command look like and why ?

Hi Aage,

Read FAQ 2, and for each tag you want to delete, add an option like -xmp:SOMETAG= on the command line. You can add these argments to the command in step 3, before you set xmp:subject.

Hi Phil

Thanks once again !

I have been reading and testing for a while now and underneath I paste the full text from my terminal-window after I have extracted, modified and again extracted data:

Note that I am trying to delete all content from the following Tag-names:

XPKeywords
LastkeywordXMP
Subject
Keywords

Terminal tells me that XPKeywords doest not exist.

Quistion: Why are only content from "Lastkeyword" and "Subject" deleted and what to do for fixing this ?

/Aage

Hayo Baan · July 21, 2014, 02:44:45 PM

You are trying to remove the XMP tags Keywords and XPKeywords. However, these are not XMP tags, they are IPTC and EXIF tags respectively. If you remove the xmp: in front of these two tags, you'll have your result. You can (should?) actually leave xmp: off of all tags; exiftool will sort out what to delete for you, and also take care any duplicates (use -a to view those too).

Code Select

exiftool -Keywords= -Subject= -LastKeywordXMP= -XPKeywords= /Users/Aagesen/ExifTool_ExportFile/Oprindelig_Mappe_Kopi/vvv0001.JPG

Hope this helps,
Hayo

Thank you so very much !

I love EXIF Tool and the support that is provided by all you gifted people

klarakos · August 01, 2014, 05:50:53 AM

We could use FileModifyDate if the other date/time tags aren't available. I could build this into the config file, but I don't have the time right now. Give me until tomorrow morning and I'll come up with something for you.

Phil Harvey · August 01, 2014, 07:25:52 AM

You don't need a config file to use FileModifyDate if the other tags aren't available. Just add another argument before the others on the command line, but using FileModifyDate instead of the other date/time tag(s).

- Phil

aage · August 12, 2014, 02:19:19 PM

Hi again

Before I run the big test on all files I wonder if I should change the way that I do things. This has come to my mind while I was thinking about the trailing number that the configfile adds to all files that are renamed.

This is what I do :

Step 1 : Rename all files
exiftool -config Aage3.config -ext MOD -ext JPG –ext AVI -ext avi -ext MPG -r '-filename<$myfilename%+.4nc.%e' /Users/Aagesen/ExifTool_ExportFile/Oprindelig_Mappe

STEP 2: Delete all XMP-tags
exiftool -Keywords= -Subject= -LastKeywordXMP= -XPKeywords= /Users/Aagesen/ExifTool_ExportFile/Oprindelig_Mappe

STEP 3: Add XMP-tags to all files
exiftool '-subject<${filename;s/_\d+\..*$//;}' -sep "_" -r /Users/Aagesen/ExifTool_ExportFile/Oprindelig_Mappe

STEP 4a: Move all files (JPG+AVI) to new folder-structure
exiftool -ext AVI -ext JPG '-directory</Users/Aagesen/ExifTool_ExportFile/Billeder_Efter_Dato/$datetimeoriginal/' -d "%Y/%m" -r /Users/Aagesen/ExifTool_ExportFile/Oprindelig_Mappe

STEP 4b: Move all files (MOD) to new folder-structure
exiftool -ext MOD '-directory</Users/Aagesen/ExifTool_ExportFile/Billeder_Efter_Dato/$filemodifydate/' -d "%Y/%m" -r /Users/Aagesen/ExifTool_ExportFile/Oprindelig_Mappe

My thouhgt:
Maybe I shold run Step 4a+Step 4b before running Step 1 and add a SORTING command right after Step 4a + Step 4b. The purpose of this new SORTING-Step should be to ensure that the trailing number added to all renamed files by the configfile indicates the correct sort-order. The correct sort-order should be "oldest-to-newest" based on (in this priority) DateTimeOriginal, DateTaken, DateModify.

Quistion 1:
Do you think I should do as described under "My thoughts" ?

Quistion 2:
How should the sorting-command look like to achieve the corret sort-order/adding correct trailing number ?

/Aage

Hayo Baan · August 12, 2014, 03:25:46 PM

Hi Aage,

Sorting your files to get a sequence number that also indicates sort order sounds like a good idea. The command-line option to specify that is -fileOrder, but you probably knew that already

The tough thing would be to get it to use the correct tag as not all files will have e.g., DateTimeOriginal.
To solve this, I suggest to create a new custom field in the .Exiftool_config file.

Something like this:

Code Select

%Image::ExifTool::UserDefined = (
    'Image::ExifTool::Composite' => {
        MySortDate => {
            Desire => {
                0 => 'DateTimeOriginal',
                1 => 'DateTaken',
                2 => 'FileModifyDate',
            },
            ValueConv => 
                '$val[0] || $val[1] || $val[2]',
        },
    },
);

If you use this tag you can combine step 4a and 4b into one as well

Note: I have not really tested the code, but it apart from some minor things, it should work.

aage · August 13, 2014, 01:23:22 AM

Hi Hayo

Thanks for helping me out and yes, I found the -fileOrder command ;-)

The problem is excatly as you describe and I did not manage to put the code together myself or modify the config-file that Phil made for me. I am not that good at programming ;-)

Just to get this right :

1) Add your code to my config-file.
2) Use the same config-file for both renaming and sorting - but in the renamingstep use var "MyFileName" and in the sortingstep use var "MySortDate"
3) Merge Step4a and Step4b using the var "MySortDate".

Quistion 1) Did I get it right ?
Quistion 2) Can you add your code in my config-file "Aage3.config" (attatched in this post) ?
Quistion 3) How do I run the sorting-step from the config-file ?
Quistion 4) How should a merged Step4a + Step4b look like considering the original code (exiftool -ext AVI -ext JPG '-directory</Users/Aagesen/ExifTool_ExportFile/Billeder_Efter_Dato/$datetimeoriginal/' -d "%Y/%m" -r /Users/Aagesen/ExifTool_ExportFile/Oprindelig_Mappe) ?

I really appreciate you help ;-)

STEP 2: Delete all XMP-tags
exiftool -Keywords= -Subject= -LastKeywordXMP= -XPKeywords= /Users/Aagesen/ExifTool_ExportFile/Oprindelig_Mappe
(unchanged)

STEP 3: Add XMP-tags to all files
exiftool '-subject<${filename;s/_\d+\..*$//;}' -sep "_" -r /Users/Aagesen/ExifTool_ExportFile/Oprindelig_Mappe
(unchanged)

STEP 4: Move all files (JPG+AVI+MOD+MPG) to new folder-structure
exiftool -config Aage3.config -ext AVI -ext JPG -ext MOD -ext MPG '-directory</Users/Aagesen/ExifTool_ExportFile/Billeder_Efter_Dato/$MySortDate/' -d "%Y/%m" -r /Users/Aagesen/ExifTool_ExportFile/Oprindelig_Mappe

With the new Aage3.config, this should work:

Code Select

sub MakeCode($$$)

    my @date1 = split /[: ]/, shift;
    my @date2 = split /[: ]/, shift;
    my $name = shift;

    my $str = '';
    $str .= "${years}Y" if $years > 0;
    $str .= "${months}M" if $months > 0 and $years >= 0;
    $str = "_$name$str" if $str;
    return $str;
}

%Image::ExifTool::UserDefined = (
    'Image::ExifTool::Composite' => {
        MyFileName => {
            Desire => {
                0 => 'Make',

Thanks

In October (weekend of 11+12 October, I again lead an Industrial Heritage photography workshop in Dortmund, there are still a couple of seats left, so if you want you can join us

)

aage · August 13, 2014, 03:23:45 PM

Hi Hayo

THANK you so much !!!

Your new version of the config-file and the command-lines in each step is just plain "Plug-and-Play" - it worked perfectly ;-) ;-)

Only a small quistion before I run the BIG test ;-)

After sorting and renaming in Step 1 all the files have the correct trailing number - as long as they resides in the original folder.
BUT Step 4 move all files to the new folderstructure.

Because of my original folderstructure I will have files from different "original folders" added to the new folderstructure and the trailing number will no longer be a trailing number in the new folder - because files from same day could come from different "original folders" ;-)

Quistion 1) Can I run Step 1 in a modyfied way as a final Step 5 to ensure correct trailing number in the new folderstructure ?
Quistion 2) How should the modyfied commandline look like for "Step 5 : Correct trailing number for all files in new folderstructure" ?

/Aage

P.S. The Industrial Heritage photography workshop in Dortmund sounds cool - but I will be driving around in a Polish wood in my old Land Rover in this period ;-) Thanks for the invite anyway ;-)

Excellent! Good to hear (I did test the individual components, but couldn't test the whole, of course).

Right, so basically what you want is to have the files in each directory with their own sequence. Then, why don't we just skip the first step and do it at the end. You'll have to adjust step 3 for this though.

exiftool -config Aage3.config '-subject<${myfilename;s/\..*$//;}' -sep "_" -r /Users/Aagesen/ExifTool_ExportFile/Oprindelig_Mappe

Step 5 would then basically the same as the first step (we don't perform any more) but then called on each of the new dated directories individually.

By the way I noticed I made a mistake in step one, I used -fileOrder MySortName, but it should have been -fileOrder MySortDate, of course.

P.S. The Industrial Heritage photography workshop in Dortmund sounds cool - but I will be driving around in a Polish wood in my old Land Rover in this period ;-) Thanks for the invite anyway ;-)

That also sounds great! Have fun

Hi Hayo (and other readers)

I am now testing the order of steps and it look quite good - but i discovered a strange thing:

When Picasa reads info in the picture "Canon_02102011_L4Y2M_J1Y5M_0001.JPG" - Picasa tells me that the TAG "Billeder_tømt_24122011" exist in this picture.

But I can´t find this TAG using ExifTool like this:

Hi

Ignore my last post - nothing wrong with my metadata. It´s a BUG in PICASA and I found a work-around ;-)
