Hello,
I am using this command line:
C:\>e:\all\exiftool "-Directory<e:/all/$FileTypeExtension/$FileModifyDate" -d "%Y/%B" e:\all

to move all of my file types to different subfolders, by date, It works well for some files, (jpg, gifs, pdf, mov, mp4)  but is there a reason why it doesn't work for avi, doc, mdb, xls, mpeg? Do I have to add something else to the command line?

Thanks!

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
