combine filename and directory

[daboss]

Hi

Would someone be so kind to help me combine my two step into one. Currently I have the following. First command renames files and copies into a new directory. Second command works with this copy of renamed files and then copies into a new structure based on Year/Month.

exiftool -r -P -ext .jpg -d '%Y%m%d-%H%M%S-%%f.%%e' '-filename<filemodifydate' '-FileName<DateTimeOriginal'  -o '/PhotoEXIFRename'  '/PhotosSource/'

exiftool -P -ext .jpg  -o '/PhotoEXIFSorted/Unsorted/'  -d /PhotoEXIFSorted/%Y/%m\ %B '-directory<filemodifydate' '-Directory<CreateDate' '-directory<datetimeoriginal' -r '/PhotoEXIFRename'


Thank-you

All you have to do is add the final directory to the desired file name in the first command:

exiftool -r -P -ext .jpg -d '/PhotoEXIFSorted/%Y/%m\ %B/%Y%m%d-%H%M%S-%%f.%%e' '-filename<filemodifydate' '-FileName<CreateDate'  '-FileName<DateTimeOriginal'  -o '/PhotoEXIFRename'  '/PhotosSource/'

Here I have also added the CreateDate argument that was missing from the first command.

See example 11 on the Setting FileName page for more information about the precedence of the various ways of specifying the directory.
