Is it possible to rename files (jpegs from camera) based on Date Taken? Can somebody tell me how?

(Windows Explorer shows Date Taken in the details of the Jpeg files so I think it should be possible.)

Hi,
You must use the "Use Exif Info" action for that, and %datetime% or %datetimeoriginal% for the date tag.

Thanks for the reply. %DateTimeOriginal% produces the Date Created as the name but I want to use the Date Taken (as listed in Windows Explorer). Any idea what the EXIF would be for Date Taken?

Thanks again.

Well it is supposed to be that one... (and %datetime% the one used as creation/modification date in Windows)
There is also %datetimedigitized% that you can try.

Thanks! %datetimedigitized% is what I needed
