oldcarguy Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Hi somehow my friends wife lost 30,000 photos ...... then recovered them but the name, date etc she had on the photos was wiped , I think the EXIF info will at least have the dates , and she can put them back in order by date the photo was taken , Is there a program that does this in bulk ? Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
userabcd Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) Colorpilot? Faststone? Irfan? Ant Renamer? I don't know if they can batch edit sort exif data but you could have a look at them. Edited September 23, 2017 by userabcd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) Are you familiar with the command line? I use a tool (single exe) named "jhead" and wrote me a batch ("pic_rename.bat"): jhead -nf%%y%%m%%d%%H%%M%%S %* This results in files named like this: 170913181655.jpg 170913183524.jpg 170913183527.jpg 170913183611.jpg 17=2017 09=September 13= day 13 181655 = 18 hours 16 minutes 55 seconds I use this year/month/date format for easy sorting with Explorer or the like. Alphabetic sort = numeric sort. I then move these September 2017 files to a subdirectory "....2017\201709". http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/jhead/ OK, not an easy access 6 hours ago, userabcd said: Irfan? As far as I can see, Irfanview can not rename based on EXIF. Only counters etc. Guess there will be some free GUI tool. Who does the search? Edited September 23, 2017 by KhunBENQ used other example file names to avoid confusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Of course a search for: batch rename pictures (by) date (taken) unveils misc stuff. But as I don't know them I can't give any recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorriedNoodle Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Bulk Rename is another free file renaming app, does EXIF tags and ID3 from mp3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
