ExifRenamer is a renaming application that processes batches of image, sound and video files based on their embedded date-time information. The tool supports multiple file types, including JPG, TIFF, MOV, MP4, M4V, AVI, AIFF, MRW, NEF, CRW, CR2 and THM.
The application has a nice and straightforward interface. It supports dragging and dropping complete folders onto its window, which immediately loads the files they contain. Similarly, you can let the tool rename the files using the default file naming styles or choose any other ready-made preset available. What is more, you can create custom styles using a combination of the original file name, date, time, prefixes, suffixes, auto sequence number and file extension.
Luckily, the tool also supports previewing file names and setting an output folder if so you desire. However, I wish it allowed previewing the names of the whole batch of files instead of needing to confirm one at a time.
All in all, ExifRenamer is an excellent choice when you need to organize your media files. Fortunately, it does not alter the contents of the original files. Instead, it only changes the file names. The product is free to use so there is nothing to lose if you try it.
v2.1 [May 1, 2010]
- Confirm window: The Prefix or Suffix text field is now selected by default if the user did chose this option.
- Fixed a problem with Snow Leopard's Image Capture.
- Fixed a very silly initialization problem which lead ExifRenamer to ignore the settings the user defined within the preferences under some circumstances.
- Adjusted the PayPal-Button to support the yet-again broken language code setting of PayPal.
- Improved the support for .THM files. ExifRenamer no longer uses the .THM files exclusively for .CRW files.
