New Features

• Bulk skip option when editing file operations
  • After being asked to select which operations to edit, it's now possible to skip them all, improving ease of use

v1.2.0

What's Changed

New Features

  • Date format and tags for file types are defined in config
• Add support for inode create, access, and modify times
• Add date format validation

Bugs

• NOT RESOLVED -- found out that exiv2 doesn't support xmp for videos! Timestamp will fallback on inode modify time until I find a new library to do this

v0.1.0

Added base functionality.

Files containing DateTimeOriginal and ModifyDate metadata can be renamed to a %Y-%m-%d-%H%M-%S format. The new filename can be any of the following:

8 CreateDate: 2022-07-30-0605-13.mp4
7 ModifyDate: 2022-07-30-0605-13.mp4 (selected)
6 FileAccessDate: 2024-10-20-1843-07.mp4
5 FileModifyDate: 2022-11-23-2119-14.mp4
4 MediaCreateDate: 2022-07-30-0605-13.mp4
3 MediaModifyDate: 2022-07-30-0605-13.mp4
2 Custom
1 Skip

Here, custom can be used in case there are clashes between filenames, which I've noticed can happen often with videos not containing good date metadata, or edited images.

The tool will not allow a rename to happen if any files will end up with the same filename.
