Is there a known problem where the Advanced Renamer will not rename NEF files by date. I've tried renaming by Timestamp method,
I've tried the New Name with <Year>-<Month>-Day>_<Hour>-<Minute>-<Second> I've tried <ExifTool:CreateDate>_steve.<Ext> All with no success, the file does not get renamed. I'm beginning to think there may be a problem retrieving the Date/Time information from the Nikon NEF files??? |

you could try downloading a newer exiftool from https://sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ and replace the one supplied by aren |

Forgive me, but I'm new to this software. I looked to try and see an exiftool program on my computer, but I don't see one, is it bundled with the Advanced Renamer software? Is the suggestion to download the exiftool separately? I did download a different renamer utility and id did successfully change the file name to a date format based on the exif file information. PS - this is the OP - I tried to reset the password on my original account but was not allowed by the forum. Steve |

Interestingly, I was able to rename my NEF files by EXIF date using another program called Bulk Rename Utility. I guess I will just use that software instead. STeve |
