#Renaming with photos for mac code
# Confirm window: The Prefix or Suffix text field is now selected by default if the user did chose this option.Thanks to Dirk Speder for this suggestion!# Fixed a problem with Snow Leopard's Image Capture.Thanks to Eike Schwarz for reporting this issue!# Fixed a very silly initialization problem which lead ExifRenamer to ignore the settings the user defined within the preferences under some circumstances.# Adjusted the PayPal-Button to support the yet-again broken language code setting of PayPal.I am sure this will break in the future, again.Thanks to Ronald Lim for reporting this issue!# Improved the support for. If you use Apple's ImageCapture for retrieving your photos from a camera, it can even automatically rename downloaded pictures saving you a lot of time and hassle and now this function supports Snow Leopard too.ĮxifRenamer is an excellent tool for renaming your batches of photos. Importantly, it supports batch changes meaning you can upload an unlimited number of photos to be changed at once. Using the -fileOrder DateTimeOriginal argument makes sure that images are processed in order, and numbering strictly follows that order, otherwise shots takes in quick succession are not guaranteed to be renumbered in exact order they were taken.ExifRenamer allows you to preview photos and add a prefix or suffix to the date format for even easier identification. Numbering begins at 001 and continues to 999, so if you shoot 1000 or more images in one day you must modify the script (change 3nc to 4nc, the numeric value = how many digits to use). Selected files are renamed in the following pattern YYYYMMDD-001.jpg. It also ignores any files that are not JPEGs so I do not need to worry about what is in subdirectories. I use the following script, placed in ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts (this should work for any Linux distro using Nautilus as a file manager): #!/bin/bashĮxiftool -fileOrder DateTimeOriginal -recurse -extension jpg -ignoreMinorErrors '-FileName Use -nf instead of just -n to override this. Note that there is logic to attempt to not rename files which already are mostly digits, which keeps the command from accidentally acting twice. which gives the date (and not the time) and the original filename, like 20181226-DSC_0596.jpg. You can use %f to also include the original filename (without extension). jpg in the current directory to a format like 20181226-111141.jpg. Will automatically rename all files ending in. It's a command-line tool available for Linux, Mac, and Windows. If you use this method to copy images from a card into some other directory and then run it again on the same set of images, you will end up with identical files numbered 000 and 001.įor simple things where the flexibility, power, and complication of ExifTool aren't necessary, I like to use the tool jhead. Note that this does not weed out duplicates. When picking a name, ExifTool will keep incrementing the copy number until it finds a filename that doesn't exist and rename the file to that. If you had multiple files created during the same second, each successive rename would overwrite the last file and all you'd get is the last one. You can also specify individual images if you want.Ībout the copy number: This is an important thing to put in your filenames because many cameras don't provide fractional seconds in their timestamps. is the path of the directory where you want to operate. The next argument tells ExifTool to change the filename to whatever is in the CreateDate field in the EXIF using the date format specified earlier.įinally, the. I'll explain why that's important in a minute. The three zeros after the time are a copy number put there by %%-03.c in the date format. The pattern contains date format codes that fill in various bits and pieces from the date. The -d switch tells ExifTool to format dates according to the next argument's pattern. It has a steep learning curve, but once you're over it, the kind of renaming you're after is a snap: exiftool -d '%Y%m%d-%H%M%%-03.c.%%e' '-filename
