dateexif

I tried using the example in the scripting help for rename and it didn't work

Code: Select all

rename , '<dateexif yyyymmdd.hhnnss>-*', p;
It seems like it would be a good script to have. Is it an issue that I'm trying to run it through a catalogue, or is it broken?

I've got the following as a CFA and it works well:

Code: Select all

|"Timestamp MC with EXIF-Date"\;*.jpg>::timestamp "mc", '<dateexif>'
And I just tested your example with the following catalog entry and it works as well:
PicPick_672.jpg
However, if the jpg doesn't have an exif date, the rename just adds "- " at the start of the filename.

OK I missed what a exif date was my bad.

Is there a way to add a now date stamp to a file?

never mind, I found it in the Variables Section

Code: Select all

rename b , '<date yyyymmdd>-*', p;
