Renaming by EXIF Information

[Keaton]

Exif saves some nice informations, like day and time that the photo was taken.
Will be nice if IrfanView can use then to rename the files.

Something like...

YYYY for year (4 numbers)
YY for year (2 number)
mm for month (3 first characters)
mmmm for month (full name)
M for the month (1 number)
MM for the month (2 numbers)
dd for week day (3 first characters)
dddd for week day (full name)
D for day (1 or 2 digits)
DD is for the day (2 digits)
h for 12 hour format time (1 or 2 digits)
hh for 12 hour format time (2 digits)
AA for am/pm (only when hh or h)
H for 24 hour format time (1 or 2 digits)
HH for 24 hour time (2 digits)
M for minutes (1 or 2 digits)
MM for minutes (2 digits)
S for seconds (1 or 2 digits)
SS for seconds (2 digits)

And choose how to put it, looks nice..

For example:
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS should return something like: 2008-01-16 10:30:18

Got the idea?

Sorry if It already exists, but I do not have much time to explore IrfanView lately...
And sorry my english, I'm kinda sleeply. :\

I understand sleeply perfectly, happens to me a lot when I try to read long Help files. There is a long, sleepy-making list for batch renaming by EXIF in IrfanView's Help - Options section, Text/Pattern Options. Hope you find what you need there (other than a nap and a cup of coffee).

[Keaton]

Nice guy! It's all that I need! Thank you dude!

[Bhikkhu Pesala]

Right on Matera. Read the helpfile, the information that you need is all there. If what you want to do doesn't seem to be possible ask again.

Text/Pattern Options

There is very powerfull option to generate text for several dialogs/features:

· Insert text into selection

· Batch Conversion/Rename

· Print Dialog

· Slideshow

· Full Screen

· Contact Sheet

· HTML Export

· Command line conversion

Rename from command line...

Hello!

Is it possible to batch rename (and ONLY rename) from command line?
I couldn't find any other switch other than /convert, however when I run this example...

"G:\Program Files\IrfanView\i_view32.exe" PICTURE.JPG /convert="$T(%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S) $F"

... it creates new file with correct name, but different size, which means that it recompressed it. Is it possible to JUST rename files without conversion? (from command line!)

THX
Hrvoje

[Sam_Zen]

Strange, this different size shouldn't happen imo.
I did this renaming via the batch-dialog of IV, name was correct, and the filesize exactly the same.
I have my doubts about the two " in the commandline.

[cclborneo]

Does anyone know the exif placeholder code for shutter actuations? I can't seem to find this listed although IV reads this data and displays it as "Total pictures".
