Rename an image with the date and time it has been taken
From:
IMG_3975.JPG taken the 09/09/2003 at 21h47m58s
IMG_3981.JPG taken the 09/09/2003 at 21h49m35s
To:
Planet_Mars_20030909_214758.jpg
Planet_Mars_20030909_214935.jpg
Use the expression:
Planet_Mars_%Xdo.jpg
How does it work ?
Most part of digital cameras adds in the image many data
concerning the shot. Among those, several dates with one at which
the image was taken.
Siren extracts this information and makes it directly usable in
an expression through the variable: %Xdo (eXif DatetimeOriginal)
By default it follows the format: YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS
So, following the expression for "IMG_3975.JPG":
Planet_Mars_ gives "Planet_Mars_"
Planet_Mars_%Xdo gives "Planet_Mars_20030909_214758"
Planet_Mars_%Xdo.jpg gives "Planet_Mars_20030909_214758.jpg"
And if images were taken in the same second ?
With the above expression some "future names" will be identical,
therefore an error will appear during the renaming.
The variables "%nc" and "%ncs" give a unique value avoiding
name "collisions".
Use an expression like: Planet_Mars_%Xdo%ncs.jpg
