Camera A's date is 1 year behind, can I change the EXIF data?

No no, I'm sorry. I guess I didn't finish my post. I meant to say that it didn't do what I wanted for the album I was testing it on. Yes, you're right, it didn't achieve what I wanted. Other than that, the script worked fine. Sorry about that. I just assumed I had already written the entire post and submitted it without thinking.

Thank you very much! You've solved this problem for me and now I can be happier, ha ha ha. Also, thank you for taking the time to Skype with me.

I'd like to note that the Pascal Code you wrote for me totally works great!

Glad to hear that

Hey again. After getting this all to work, I wanted to see if we could try something else! You don't have to help out on this one, it's just something fun (related to that code you sent) that I wanted to do.

I don't know if this is possible, but it's not that I HAVE to have this doable, but just because I'm curious, I wanted to know if it was possible to take that pascal script and put it with my other rules I've setup so instead of me running the script, renaming, deleting the files from ReNamer, add all the files again, then finish up by naming the files 01 - Fun.jpg, I can just do it all in one go. Now that's tricky eh? Man, this is fun to try and figure out.

Yes, of course you can use that script in conjunction with other rules! I don't see the problem. You can have as many rules in ReNamer as you want, well, upto 2'147'483'647 - which is more than enough! So what is your problem, and why can't you stick all of your rules together? And perhaps save them as a preset.

Saturn2888 · 2007-03-25 11:14

Well if I put in the code you gave me, it'll just pretend that's not there because I have it to delete all the text from the filename. Somehow, it ends up acting like the Pascal code never existed, then goes and ReNames the files. Pretty weird.

What do you mean?

Can you tell me your list of rules and their order, as well as expected and actual results?

Saturn2888 · 2007-03-25 11:25

Yep.

Replace all MVI with IMG
Run Pascal Code
Delete from Position 1 to End (skip ext)
Serialize starting from 1 - prefix
Lowercase the extension
Insert " - " as Suffix (before extension)
Insert ":File_FolderName:" as Suffix (before extension)

Should look like this: 01 - Fun Times w/ ReNamer.jpg

Man, of course, results of the script will not appear in the final name - because you delete an entire name straight after the script! Rules are executed in a top-to-bottom order. Script does do its job, but then next rule simply removes an entire new name. Try putting the Delete rules in front of the Script rule (swap them), and you'll see the effect

Saturn2888 · 2007-03-25 11:40

I see what you mean.
This is the thing. I only needed to display the EXIF times (and of course adding time to the AVIs) so that I could use that to properly organize the pictures chronologically so I could rename them to my 01 - Fun Times w/ ReNamer.jpg filename.

That's what I was wondering about. Would it be at all possible to have the Pascal script run, reorganize the files in order of when they were taken and then have the rest of the options run after that? I'm sure this is probably not possible, but that's why I asked. I thought it would be fun to try and figure out how to do. I don't want to waste your time though. I feel kinda bad because I always have these weird problems.
