XnView Software

Hi,

I do have a problem wit the batch renaming function and I think the problem may be me not the software.

I do use batch rename to rename my Photos like so
{EXIF:Date Taken [YmsHMS]}

which results in something like this
20230620211903.NEF

The thing is when doing continious shooting I have more than one pic of the same second. Can be up to ten.

This is where I looked into the EXIF and there is the subsec value but i can not see a way to include it. It can be done or ?

The desired output would be someting like this
2023062021190309.NEF
2023062021190321.NEF

I looked into the naming conflict option to solve my problem as I do not need the subsec although it would be nice.
I configure a suffix of ## enable always and select number.

The desired output would be someting like this
2023062021190301.NEF
2023062021190302.NEF

But the Result is something like this
20230620211903.NEF
2023062021190301.NEF
2023062021190302.NEF
20230620211904.NEF

I already updated to XnView MP Linux 1.4.5 64bits (May 10 2023) as I was running an older Version from 2021 but it made no difference

What am I doing wrong?

All the best
Anna

could you send me a sample file?

for example how Advanced Renamer handle such cases

Hi,

You want ### being reset to each different names ?
You must use "duplication" Otherwise to have what you presented in your screenshot, you try this {EXIF:Date Taken [Ymd_HMS]}_###

I send you an Email with out of camera JPGs because the NEFs are to big.

It looks like it can use Subsec, but it seems to be Windows only and I really like XnviewMP so I hope I can achieve the same in Xnview.

Yes

I did that but that results in a shorter Filename if there is no duplicate as ### is only appended if there is a duplicate file. I would rather like to append ### to every filename so that the length is consistent.

A filename like YmsHMSU where U is subsec in two digits would be consistent.

Normally "s" represents the fraction of a second on one or more figures but it doesn't work.

Please use

{EXIF:x9290}

Hi,

my final rename template looks like this And the result looks like this: This is exactly what I wanted.

Thank you very much for your help.
