How to batch rename files based on EXIF date + custom text?
Hi everyone,
I’m new to Advanced Renamer and trying to set up a batch job where my photos get renamed like this:
YYYYMMDD – Location – Original Filename
I see how to use <Exif:DateTimeOriginal> and plain text, but I’m not sure how to insert the location (from a text list) in a way that matches each specific photo. Is there a way to use a CSV lookup so certain folders or file names map to a location string automatically?
Example:
IMG_001.jpg → 20250115 – Paris – IMG_001.jpg
IMG_002.jpg → 20250115 – London – IMG_002.jpg
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
You can import column data via 'Import data from CSV'. Once you have added your files to Advanced Renamer and imported the data from the CSV file, the data will appear in the file name via the tag <csv:x>, where x is the number of column containing locations.
Using the 'New name' method, you can add various tags to rename the file names.
See the image below for an example:

Good luck!
