Notes
How to change the EXIF dates in a file
Add 2 minutes 30 seconds: exiftool -r -Alldates+=0:2:30 .
How to change the date of a file
touch -r somefile.avi -d "-1 hour +3 minutes -5 second" somefile.avi
How to change the filename using EXIF tags
exiftool -r "-FileName<DateTimeOriginal" -d %Y%m%d_%H%M%S%%-c.%%e .
How to change the filename using stat(1) command
for fn in *.avi ; do nn=$(stat --printf=%y $fn | sed -e 's/\..*//' -e 's/ /_/ ' -e 's/[-:]//g') ; echo mv $fn $nn.avi ; done
Tools
- Exifer is a discontinued product but quite good. I am still evaluating other tools as recommended on his site as well as others.
- Cygwin is a source for bash, touch, and stat commands.
- Exiftool is a command line tool written in Perl but with command line versions. Any version should work but the one used writing these notes is this one.
