Phil,
IF the EXIFTool can read and set the normal DOS file attributes such as directory, filename, FileModifyDate, Then I can use it to rename and move Non EXIF files the same way I do for the EXIF files. When I try, I get the typical "File Type Not Supported".
I wish you had a plain file switch.
Currently I created this windows batch file to rename and move my MOV files:
@echo off
Rem Change Filenames and move to date based directory.
Rem Run from Working / Source Directory, will perform the following
Rem Make archive and new working folders/directories
Rem copies original file to new filename format in the working folder
Rem moves the original file to the archive folder
Rem set Ext=-ext *.mov
set Ext=
Rem set files=-r .\ *
Rem set files=*.avi *.thm *.mov
set files=*.mov
set targetDir=Q:\Photos
set origDir=F:\Photos\Original
set OutFile=Rename-avi.cmd
Echo @Echo off >%OutFile%
echo Rem Build MakeDir Statements to make sure directory exists >>%OutFile%
exiftool -q -S -s -d "%targetDir%\%%Y_%%m_%%d" -p "mkdir $CreateDate" %Ext% %files% >>%OutFile%
exiftool -q -S -s -d "%origDir%\%%Y_%%m_%%d" -p "mkdir $CreateDate" %Ext% %files% >>%OutFile%
Echo Rem Build copy Statements for renamed files >>%OutFile%
exiftool -q -S -s -d "%targetDir%\%%Y_%%m_%%d\%%Y-%%m%%d-%%H%%M%%S_" -p "copy $filename $CreateDate
+${filename}" %Ext% %files% >>%OutFile%
Rem exiftool -q -S -s -d "%origDir%\%%Y_%%m_%%d\%%Y-%%m%%d-%%H%%M%%S_" -p "copy $filename $CreateDa
+te${filename}" %Ext% %files% >>%OutFile%
Echo Rem Build move Statements for Original files >>%OutFile%
exiftool -q -S -s -d "%origDir%\%%Y_%%m_%%d" -p "move $filename $CreateDate" %Ext% %files% >>%OutFi
+le%
goto Exit
:Exit
