Hi
Sorry if I am using this thread but I have a similar issue.
I use a script to rename jpg/png files with the time date, however I realized today that it doesn't work on BMP, I've read that exiftool can read but can't operate with bmp files, isn't there any workaround for this?
Thanks

The reason it doesn't work with Bmp images is because there isn't any metadata in the format.  There isn't any date or time in the image to rename it with.
* Did you read FAQ #3 and use the command listed there?
* Please use the Code button for exiftool code/output.
 
* Please include your OS, Exiftool version, and type of file you're processing (MP4, JPG, etc).
