EXIF JPEG Photo Renamer
Version 1.0
July 22 2007
Compatibility:
- Java Runtime Environment (JRE); tested on 1.5 and higher but may work for older versions
- Tested on Windows XP but may work for other operating systems as well.
- Cameras - tested using photos from various Sony cameras, namely DSC-P52 and DSC-P200
- Image types: JPEG only sorry!
Using the Program:
The EXIF JPEG Photo Renamer was created to rename JPEG photos from digital cameras to their corresponding date and time. Files, with somehow the same exact date and time, will be renamed with an additional incremented number attached at the end.
One extra option is to shift the time by a desired number of seconds. This is useful for renaming photos from different cameras and fitting them to the same timeline. Negative numbers are accepted but you cannot input math expressions such as '2*60'.
To use the program, simply double-click and open the Run file. If you know how to open Java jar files, go ahead and open the jar file. Follow the simple directions stated in the program.
Tip: Indeed, the program uses a command prompt. How to copy and paste long directory names? Right-click the window bar at top and choose Edit > Paste (after copying the path of course).
Author's Comments:
This Java program was originally created for my own personal use. The lack of a user interface probably makes this most apparent. However, the program is clear and simple to use. It does exactly and only what it was intended for.
