This renames files and moves them to the folder based on the date. What happens if there is already a file in that folder with that specific name?
if (app.parseTags('<ExifTool:DateTimeOriginal>')) { returnStr = app.parseTags('<ExifTool:DateTimeOriginal>'); year = returnStr.substr(0, 4); month = returnStr.substr(5, 2); day = returnStr.substr(8, 2); hour = returnStr.substr(11, 2); minute = returnStr.substr(14, 2); second = returnStr.substr(17, 2); } else if (app.parseTags('<ExifTool:FileCreateDate>')) { returnStr = app.parseTags('<ExifTool:FileCreateDate>'); year = returnStr.substr(0, 4); month = returnStr.substr(5, 2); day = returnStr.substr(8, 2); hour = returnStr.substr(11, 2); minute = returnStr.substr(14, 2); second = returnStr.substr(17, 2); } else { returnStr = ""; } item.newPath = "C:\\_PHOTOS\\" + year + "\\" + month; item.newName = year + month + day + "_" + hour + minute + second; return item.newName; |

Is there a way to not move it if there is already one there named the same?

Hi Nikki I'm not a programmer so my answer may be useless, but if you right click on a file and select "Remove special ---> Remove erroneous items" you can avoid moving files with the same name. You can also use the "Name collision rule" . Regards Miguel |

Since the previous thread, https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=14903 I've been working on some way to accomplish that very action. Unfortunately, if there is a way to do it, it has escaped me and my meager scripting skills. I thought maybe the item.errorlevel / item.errorcode might be useful, but apparently that only effects the "current" or original directory. If anybody out there has any thoughts on this I'd love to hear them; until then, I can't offer any help. Best, DF |
