Renaming and numbers

[pgman]

Hi,

I have files: img_1234.cr2, img_1235.cr2 and so on. I'd like to select a bunch of them and have them renamed as:

img_1234.cr2 becomes granville-island-20121027-1234.cr2
img_1235.cr2 becomes granville-island-20121027-1235.cr2
img_1236.cr2 becomes granville-island-20121027-1236.cr2

I'd like to only type "granville-island-20121027-" but I want to keep the 1234, 1235, 1236...

Is there a way?

Thank you in advance

Code: Select all

exiftool '-filename<granville-island_${DateTimeOriginal}_${ImageNumber}.%e' -d "%Y%m%d" .

Should do what you want... That means you won't need to type anything different - the same command will work for pretty much anything. It relies on your camera placing the number in the "ImageNumber" exif tag - some cameras use "FileNumber" instead, so you may need to vary that bit.

Yes, it is possible, and you don't even need to type the date: http://product.corel.com/help/AfterShot ... index.html

[jobname]-[date]-[onum].[oext] should do the trick.

Of course, always back up your files before making any experiment and thoroughly check everything is fine before going on.

[jobname]-[date]-[onum].[oext] should do the trick.

But if the OP really wants the date without the dashes, then "[year][month][day]" is needed instead of [date].
I personally think [10dateiso] is safer than [date]. If I remember correctly [date] depends on the settings in the preferences...
