EXIF Info In Filename

Talk about slideshow creation, whether it's with Premiere and/or Photoshop Elements or a third party helper application.

EXIF Info In Filename

Postby Bobby » Thu Jul 12, 2012 2:31 pm

Hi all! Been away for a couple of weeks, lots of posts to read. Anyhow, I have a problem and need your advice.

We are taking photos with two cameras intermixed. My thumbnail program on my PC (Thumbs Plus) can sort by origin date/time with no problem and so it mixes the two inputs properly.

BUT when I want to set up a slideshow on my iPad, the program I use can only sort by filename. (BTW, I have been over and over on this issue and haven't found yet an app that I liked or worked that could handle sorting by EXIF data; I am now using something called PhotoFolder).

So I need to get the EXIF Original Date/Time field data somehow into the filename. Once I get that, I can use a bulk renaming program to rename them in sequence without the ugly date/time. But I can't find a program that will rename with EXIF data in the filename.

Anybody have one or can suggest another workflow?

I love answering my own questions!

I found one, simple but effective. Not much choice in the rename pattern, but I have other rename programs that can take over from there. If anybody wants it, you can find it at:
