Now I just need to find a method to RENAME all my files by the creation date. Something that reads the EXIF data?

So far, I'm sticking to using JoeJoes Renamer for everyday usage. It works well with my methods of categorizing my photos.

But now, I've got a new dilemma: my camera outputs video files as *.mov
And as pointed out by my original post, the file names are all wonky. Is there any way to batch rename all based on creation date? There is no exif type data on these.

You mentioned DOpus above, so I'll assume you have it.

The easy way:

1) Select files/movies/etc.
2) Hit the Rename button.
3) Hit the Advanced button - assuming it's in Simple mode.
4) Tick 'Enable file information fields' - you'll now notice a selection button on the right side
    of the 'New name' input field.
5) Hit that selection button, (a down arrow), and select 'General->Date (Created)'.
6) The new filenames will be displayed in the preview area - hit the OK button.
7) Job Done.

The 'Enable file information fields' also gives you access to a lot more renaming info, including EXIF data.

Cheers,

Hello,

my problem is similar to the threadstarter, yet needs a very different approach:

I often rename video etc. files and then still have the unrenamed files on my backup drive.

I use SynchronizeIt! (great app from grigsoft.com - highly recommended) to keep my backups in synch.

However, after my renaming, it wants to copy the entire file and delete the same unrenamed file on the backup volume, because it cannot detect that I renamed the file. This can be very lengthy on gigabyte sized files.

So now I am searching for an app, which does not only find dupes and deletes them, but which I can tell: compare these two folders, the first folder is source, the second target, files have different names but same time and size (so no need to do lengthy byte by byte or checksum compare) and rename all same files from target name to source name.

Has anybody found something like this?

Regards,

Brahman

THanks for that info.
I tried that too. That will work well for further organizing of my files.
Might even eliminate my file renamer that I downloaded from JoeJoe software!
