using whatever filemanager you desire, move files from flash-card/camera to physical storage (local hard drive, stick, ...), then do the following: exiv2 \-k \-r %y%m%d_%H%M%S_:basename: \.\/*.{nef,jpg} substitute for "nef", "jpg", what you need. results in following: 200119_112402_aaa_4606.nef 200110 2020, January 10 112402 11:24.02 AM aaa_4606.nef original file name from camera and during this I trans to lower case work on entire current directory for files with nef or jpg extension alter to do otherwise. no need for another app -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
