Picture Information Insertion
Information from EXIF tags or picture information of jpeg or tiff files can be inserted in the filename. Information supported includes the data/time a picture was taken, the image width, the image height, camera make, and camera model. A fully customizable formatter allows you to specify tag codes to insert. The codes correspond to different tags available in the EXIF header. If the tag corresponding to the code is found in the EXIF header without any errors, then the information in the tag will be inserted. Otherwise, image information will be extracted from the file. If no picture information is available, then the tag code will be replaced according to a configurable option that lets you either replace the missing information with a null string or a default string. The default string is the code used in the custom formatter. e.g. %DateTime% is inserted if the date/time information is missing. A problem declaration could also be produced according to a configurable option that sets the scanner to declare an error, warning, or do nothing if a tag to be inserted is missing.
If any unprintable characters or invalid filename characters such as ':', '?', "<", ">", '*', '/', or '\' are in the tag information, then an illegal character warning will be produced.
Any other valid characters can also be specified with the codes. A text panel will show an example of what the formatted output will look like. The codes will be highlighted with the colour red.
DateTime: There are three different DateTime tags available in the EXIF standard. When specifying
the DateTime tag code, all three types of tags are searched. The value corresponding
to the first tag
found will be used. The order of the search is: DateTimeOrginal, DateTime,
DateTimeDigitized.
If the
date/time info is found, it will be formatted as specified in the 'Date Insertion"
options.
