Rename file to date pic taken - software ?
Are there any simple programs (preferably 'stand-alone') which will read the
exif 'date pic taken' date and rename the file to the date. If 2 or more pics were taken on the same date then rename from DCF001, DCF002 to 041004(1) and 041004(2). Cheers Andy |

It is run in command-line mode; I have a batch file that makes it a three- or four-second process, once the files are downloaded from the memory card to an "IN" directory, where the operating files reside. Two-click the .bat file, wait three seconds, move the newly named files to an appropriate directory. _Nikon2Date.bat: "jhead -nf%%Y_%%m_%%d_%%H%%M%%S dscn*.jpg" The jhead exe file will extract any information you want from your photo jpg and make it part of the file name in the order you specify. If a relative programming dummy like me can make it useful, anyone can. I also have cam2pc installed. (free last time I looked) Early versions would do all that from a Windows interface; the more recent ones add bells and whistles (including a viewer) I never used, but at one time I had it configured to change the file name to a date, and deposit the renamed files in a designated folder, all with one "go ahead" click after it opened automatically when a card was plugged in to the reader. http://www.nabocorp.com/cam2pc/ -- Frank ess |

It can use about anything out of the EXIF information, file name, or file datestamps, and supports sequential numbering. I rename my camera original files to: ddb 20041004 010-001-orig.{jpg,raw} aaa bbbbbbbb ccc ddd aaa: my initials, to help my photos easy to identify bbb: yyyymmdd the photo was shot ccc: "session number" -- I like to group the photos by what/where I was shooting; If I go to the Renaissance festival in the afternoon, say, and a party in the evening. ddd: shot number within the session. -- David Dyer-Bennet, , http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/ RKBA: http://noguns-nomoney.com/ http://www.dd-b.net/carry/ Pics: http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/ http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/ Dragaera/Steven Brust: http://dragaera.info/ |
