Append to file name - Hazel

[adrianvas12]

Greeting - just like many other users I have same issues with cloud removing original Create Date from photos. I used Hazel and created this rule that will rename the file in YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM_SS.
I would like to also append the original file name - I tried the %f but then Hazel keeps looping....
Below is my script:

Code Select Expand

exiftool -P -d '%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S_%f' \
   '-filename<${FileModifyDate;}.%e' \
    '-filename<${GPSDateTime;}.%e' \
    '-filename<${MediaCreateDate;}.%e' \
    '-filename<${ModifyDate;}.%e' \
    '-filename<${DateTimeOriginal;}.%e' \
    "$1"
Ideally I would love to be able to restore the original date so that MacOS sees the correct date but not sure if that is possible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use %%f.  From this page:

ExifTool file name format codes may be used inside a date format string when a date/time tag is used to set the value of the FileName or Directory tags via the command-line interface. In this case, an extra '%' must be added to pass the format code through the date/time parser
