Edit Exif:Model before inserting

[AlainCh2]

Hello, and thanks for any Ideas.

Having more than one camera, I want to insert the model as a suffix of my pics.

xxxxxxxxx.jpg >>> xxxxxxxxx_Zf.jpg <> xxxxxxxxx_Z30.jpg

The issue comes because the model is written "Nikon Z f" or "Nikon Z 30"

How to remove the "Nikon" and all the blanks in the Model string?

( I will need a step-by-step please )

Hi! could you do into 2 steps? Add first then adjust in a subsequent rename?
Or if you have a commercial license, you could do all with BRU javascript.

Yes, I thought also that a two-step would have been easier.

But no idea "how" to indicate that, and what the process will be on my side.

First step would be rename adding the exif info, then reset the naming criteria, and second step fix the NIKON text as needed.
Each stipe can be saved and then loaded from a .BRU file.

That last sentence is not clear... on how to proceed with a BRU file

a) I do insert Exif:Model
> apply

b) I do "Nikon Z f" = "Zf"
> Apply

c) I do "Nikon Z 30" = "Z30"

z) I obtain what I want but that need: one base step + one step for each camera

Correct ?

Hi, in Replace (3), multiple replacements can be done in one rename, see the help file for more info.

Code: Select all

Multiple replacements can be specified using the | separator. For example, Replace:1|2 With:3|4 will replace 1 with 3 and 2 with 4. Replace:1|2 With:3 will replace 1 with 3 and 2 also with 3. If you need to use | as a character itself for renaming, then escape it with a \.  For example, Replace:1\|2 With:3 will replace 1|2 with 3, the character | will not be used as separator.

Thanks.
That's useful!!

You mentioned BRU files.
How do I write a BRU file containing all the instructions to manage the three steps...
...
OR...

How do I generate a BRU File saving one / each steps?

[AlainCh2]

Ok, found my way into BRU file.

Now how can I run it in batch ?

[AlainCh2]

Ok,
found my way .... Just:
select one single action > execute
Deselect
Select another action > execute

Fine.... but ....

BIG ISSUE HERE

I'm shooting Nikon and producing TWO files for each shot: a "NEF" raw file and "JPG"
Both contain EXIF data,,, but BRU read "model" and modified only JPG files

So I end up with the same image and two different names

That's worse than renaming them manually...

Any Idea, please?

[AlainCh2]

I was thinking of using "Sort&Select" on the Custom Column... but Alas

BRU <(EXIF:MODEL)> seems not to be able to read NEF's Exif



I've found a stop point...

... Please help me out !!

Thanks

Alain

10 days, and no answer

One year, no answer.

So I manually sort by date/name, then select all the contiguous Z30 files [NEF + JPG] and rename them range by range... then I restart write "_Zf" instead of "_Z30" and do the same for the Zf ... then I restart write "Z50II" and do the Z50II files then restart write "_X14T" and do in one pass all the Xiaomi 14T pro images .

It works, but pretty boring and prone to mistakes, renaming two subsequent files wrongly.

Use the "Link Files by Extension" feature. It is in the Renaming Options menu. You will need the latest version of BRU.

This feature allows you to link files by their extension, where you specify a Master File Extension and one or more Linked File Extensions.
Once linked, the file names with the master file extension will determine how files with the linked extensions are renamed.

If you want to link files across folders (not just within the same folder), enable the Allow Link Across Folders option.

Note: Linked extensions can include multiple values, separated by commas.

Examples:
-----------------------------
Master File Extension: jpg
Linked File Extensions: raw

Result:
If filename.jpg and filename.raw are selected, any renaming applied to filename.jpg will also be applied to filename.raw.

Master File Extension: jpg
Linked File Extensions: raw,png

Result:
If filename.jpg, filename.raw, and filename.png are selected, any renaming applied to filename.jpg will also be applied to both filename.raw and filename.png.

Important Notes:
· All linked files must appear in the file list of Bulk Rename Utility and must be selected for the renaming to be applied correctly.
· For example, if filename.jpg and filename.raw are linked and need to be renamed with the same name, both files must be in the file list and be selected.
· You can verify if the files are correctly linked by checking the New Name column or using the Preview feature.
