Thank you!

Update: I made it now via a workaround.

1: Use the default format from the exif function
2: Make a replace via RegEx

and those as a batch, works fine.

Hi,
Not possible in one action currently, but using regular expressions you can easily change the format in a second pass (after the exif renaming).
e.g. with this expression:

Code: Select all

(.*)(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2}) (\d{2})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})(.*)
and this new name:

Code: Select all

$1$2-$3-$4_$5.$6.$7.$8
you should achieve what you want
(to be tested first ;) )

edit: you replied while I was replying, so we came at the same conclusion :D The code here can still be useful if other people need it too
