ReNamer does not insert EXIF_Date when using heic-files

When adding as the first rule to insert EXIF_Date as a first rule and replacing the current file name and skipping extension, nothing is inserted if I supply a photo in the heic-file format. I have checked the file and verified that there is date metadata in the photo file.

What am I missing?

Re: ReNamer does not insert EXIF_Date when using heic-files

There is no built-in support for HEIC / HEIF image file format yet, but you can use a 3rd party tool such as ExifTool in combination with ReNamer to extract meta tags and then use them for renaming files.

See this example script:
