Stamp is an award-winning software utility that renames digital camera photos so they sort in chronological order:
- Downloads photos from your camera
- Dates photos using EXIF metadata
- Renames photos to sort chronologically

I could really use a program like this. Anyone know of a tool that works like this (but portably)? If not, I'll use the non-portable version, but it seems like a reasonably simple process to pull EXIF data and stick it into the file name.

I'm using ExifSorter for this, but while it's portable, it does require Java.


You can always try IrfanView portable though:

Thanks Joby -- cross platform and from the makers of Amok Burner software here on the site: http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1124 so it was very promising.

However, this one appears to write settings to C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.amokexifsorter

Thanks for the suggestion. I like this a bit more than I like Stamp, so its an improvement regardless of portability.

No, no. It is portable. I hyperlinked the expression "it's portable" from my previous post.
This is what I meant about that:

Is there a portable version of AmoK Exif Sorter to run it e.g. from a USB stick?
To run AmoK Exif Sorter as a "portable" version e.g. from a USB Stick, start the software via command line or batch file as follows:
java -Duser.home=. -jar Exifsorter.jar

I use this batch file with relative paths to launch it:

Code: Select all

hstart.exe /NOCONSOLE ""..\..\Software stuff\CommonFiles\Java\bin\javaw.exe" -Duser.home=. -jar Exifsorter.jar"

Hstart is a console window hider.

Weird. I misread that somehow.

Thanks for the extra info and java breakdown.

Several portable file re-namers include support for adding EXIF data to file names:

Siren
Ken Rename
Flexible Renamer
Ant Renamer

I think Flexible Renamer has the best UI, followed by Ant Renamer.

Have you lost touch with ReNamer (you once praised it in the comments).



I have an Android phone (HTC Hero) and the stock system created filenames like IMAG0001.jpg (1st file) but my current system (AOSP) creates filenames using EXIF (2nd file).

It was a little tricky but I was able to duplicate and save the setting as a preset.

I can now load the files and the preset in a matter of seconds.

The only thing I noticed is sometimes the new name can be off by ~2 sec.

Oops! I missed that "Insert meta tag" feature in ReNamer when I checked the various renaming tools for EXIF support.

Yeah ditto. Somehow I overlooked that post because I spent a good chunk of today trying to find a program that would do that. Advanced Renamer can do it with an Add Method - New Name and then put the following in the box:

Code: Select all

<IMG Year>-<IMG Month>-<IMG Day>

However, I'd really rather use ReNamer. Still, its good to know there are two tools here on the site that will do that.
