2016-08-21 – Nikon D3300
rolled green tea, 101 Tea Plantation, Doi Mae Salong, Thailand
managed to import the photos off an old iPhone (which was a headache and a half)
and was trying to figure out how to rename them since I had used a handful of
different photo apps over the lifetime of the phone – and ExifTool
came to the rescue – ExifTool is to image metadata what
ImageMagick is to image manipulation, and, thankfully, most of the
apps had at least inserted at least their names into the image’s metadata – and
this is where ExifTool’s -if option saved the day
(list out all the unique entries in the ‘Model’ tag)
$ exiftool -T -model *.jpg | sort | uniq
(rename file if ‘Software’ tag includes ”Etchings”)
$ exiftool -if '$software =~ /Etchings/' -d %Y%d%m_%H%M%S_ip4_etchings.%%e "-filename<CreateDate" *.jpg
(rename file if 'Make' tag is “Hipstamatic”)
$ exiftool -if '$make eq "Hipstamatic"' -d %Y%d%m_%H%M%S_ip4_hipsta.%%e "-filename<CreateDate" *.jpg
