Product Description:

ExifRenamer is a tool for renaming digital photos, movie- and audio-clips of almost every camera vendor. ExifRenamer is the perfect tool as auto-action for Apples ImageCapture - it can automatically rename the new downloaded pictures without a single mouse click! The program allows to rename photos by their embedded date+time information in a much more usable way. Most downloaded pictures are named like "pic0001.jpg" or other cryptic names. ExifRenamer reads the embedded date+time information and renames the picture to for example "2001-11-18_11-16-34.jpg" (YYYY-MM-DD_hh-mm-ss.jpg). This naming style lets you easily create a large photo library with the chance to sort your pictures in chronological order just by displaying it alphabetically sorted in the Finder. This naming style is recommended as other naming styles mostly dont't provide this advantage!

ExifRenamer supports both 12h(+AM/PM) and 24h time formats, allows to add a pre- and/or suffix to the filenames (for example "Hawaii 2001-11-18_11-16-34.jpg") and also provides a solution for renaming multiple files with an identical embedded date+time information.

ExifRenamer features since version 2.0 a lot of new features like file preview, fully customizable naming styles, time difference correction, automatic destination folder creation, file deletion, applying a different file creator id, forwarding renamed files to another applications, sequence counters and much more!

The automatic destination folder creation is especially useful for users who do make a lot of pictures. Each time you connect your camera to you computer, a new folder (for example with the name 2002-11-21_0001) is generated and the files are renamed and moved to this folder. This way you have an additional organization in your pictures.

What's new in this version:

    - In the German localization was a mistake which made the use of "Delete Files" almost impossible. Argh. Fixed.
  • The NameGenerator didn't cut the path of the filenames. %?U, %o and %O keys were broken because of this. Bug found by Kee Hinckley. Thanks Kee!
  • Changed FileModificationDate to FileCreationDate as date source when no Exif date is available. Makes much more sense. Thanks to Gilbert Lauvergnier for this hint!
  • Fixed a problem with non US-ASCII characters like éèçà... Should have seen that myself as being from Germany (where we use additionally äöüÄÖÜß) but... well... blindness everywhere... ;-) Thanks to Gilbert again for showing me the problem!
  • Found a bug in the NameGenerator which could stop ExifRenamer from creating names when identical folders or files are in the same directory. Fixed.
  • Files and folders beginning its file names with a dot ('.') which are invisible are now ignored (they were ignored before, too but the progress bar didn't reflect this).
  • ExifRenamer now stores the prefix/suffis and preview setting of the file/folder name confirm dialogs. Thanks to Frank Homann for this suggestion!
  • Improved the FileMove Error-Output
  • ExifRenamer did increase the file sequence counter also for the .thm file when it was renamed together with a .crw file. Fixed. Thanks to Peter Norby for reporting this problem!
  • Removed the last possible not unichar supporting routine in ExifRenamer
  • ExifRenamer didn't set the prefix/suffix string when "Confirm each file" is off - fixed.

Note: it does support canon .CR2 raw files, though the webs ite could be misinterpreted to imply it only supports .CRW supported by .thm
