exiftool : rename files in current dir to YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS-1.ext
Raw
gistfile1.txt
# Rename JPG, CR2, and MOV files according to EXIF capture date in YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS
format.
# Files shot within the same second get copy number added (-1,-2, etc.).
# Since iPhone video files appear to use GMT in CreateDate instead of local time,
# we extract MediaModifyDate instead of CreateDate.
