you might find useful my rename strategy: 'lc;exiv2 -T ./*.{nef,jpg}' 'exiv2 mv \-k \-r %y%m%d_%H%M%S_:basename: \.\/*.{nef,jpg}' lc lowercases the filenames change file-date to exif date-time taken then renamed to YYMMDD_HHMMSS year/month/day/hour/minute/second plus original filename 190526_153344_dsc_5940.nef -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode ___________________________________________________________________________ darktable developer mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-dev+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
