Assstance renamining images

[Arb]

Hello,

I have been struggling exporting all of the information that I would like and was hoping you would be able to help me out.  Thanks in advance!

I want to export the file name, creation date, and if possible part of the directory path into a csv doccument. I have figured out how to get the name and date using a custom fmt file:

Code Select Expand

#[HEAD]FileName,CreateDate,
# End of Header
$filename,$createdate,
#[TAIL]

Code Select Expand

exiftool -ext .jpg -f -p my.fmt C:\ExifTools\Folder\test > Photo.csv

Is it possible to create a column with the image directory? Or even better better,  a part of the directory i.e. "Folder"?

Alternatively if the first option isn't feasible, I would like to rename the images to "Folder_OriginalFileName.jpg." But so far have been unable to figure out how to accomplish either of these.

Thanks again!

Either is possible.  You can add "$directory" to your format file for the directory name, or using the advanced formatting feature you can extract any part of the directory name that you want.  For example, someting like this may extract "Folder" from your example:

${directory;s(.*/([^/]+)/.*)($1)}
