Looking at exiv2 the alias would be much simpler, but...
I frequently use two bodies on shoots and to properly sequence the photos I have: 1. A script to rename files by adding a prefix, hhmmss, obtained from the create-date (based on exiftool). Can provide YYYYMMDDHHMMSS 2. A script to correct the time-diff between the two bodies if I failed to sync the camera clocks beforehand (based on exiftool) 3. A script to add geo-location data recorded with my android phone during the shoot and to correct time-diff to the cameras, if any. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
