# Function for your .zshrc file | |
# Requirements: install the package manager Homebrew (http://brew.sh), then install exiftool (type brew install exiftool in Terminal.app). | |
# Renames image and MOV files according to EXIF capture date, using YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS.ext format. | |
# Files shot within the same second get copy number added (-1,-2, etc.). | |
# Video files require a different, so we run exiftool 3 times: | |
# 1. Exclude MOV files and rename the image files with <CreateDate>. | |
# 2. Target MOV files and rename them with MediaCreateDate (for iPhone videos). | |
# 3. Target MOV files and rename them with DateTimeOriginal (for Fuji camera videos). | |
