Batch rename and move?

Post by sesame »

Sorry if I'm missing something, because this software seems highly capable and able to do what I want, but I can't seem to find it.

I simply want to cull my RAW images directly from my SD card, then when I've finished rating and categorizing them, move them off the SD card into a folder AND batch rename based on category and date (keeping the raw file the exact same otherwise with metadata etc).
  • I tried the 'batch rename' command but there is no option to move, only rename
  • I tried 'batch convert' but the output file always gives me a PNG, even when I select filename 'same as input'' and 'preserve filename'
  • 'Export' seems to be not for my task
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you :)
