Hi,

Firstly discovered this tool tonight and it looks awesome!

I have a bunch of RAW photos (Sony ARW format) which I'm trying to rename into the following format:

YYYY-MM-DD HR.MN.SC

E.g. 2017-05-01 15.01.44.ARW

I was able to achieve this with jpgs by doing:

<Img Year>-<Img Month>-<Img Day> <Img Hour>.<Img Min>.<Img Sec>

However, have to use EXIF for the raw images.

with <ExifTool:DateTimeOriginal> this outputs like so:

2017_08_19 08_39_32.ARW

How can I make it instead YYYY-MM-DD HR.MN.SC?

Thanks!

Add a "Replace" method after your existing "New Name" and select "Use regular expressions".

Text to be replaced: _(\d{2})_(\d{2} \d{2})_(\d{2})_
Replace with: -\1-\2.\3.

For an explanation see: www.advancedrenamer.com/user_guide/regular_expresions

Thanks a lot! Somehow I missed the regex section when I had a look through the docs.

I wrote a blog post about it :-)
