mac os x change date format temporarily












0














I use ACDSee 4 for mac and the date format of the exif info = dd-mm-yyyy

This makes perfect sense, because I live in Holland and we use this date notation.

but this is getting a issue when I want to batch rename files using the exif date and time, it's the wrong format if I want to order the filenames.



I can change the regional settings to Canada in my mac system preferences, that works accept I don't want to use AM/PM but 24hr format.



And if I quit ACDSee I need to revert back to the dutch date notation.



My question is:

Is there a bash or apple script that sets the date format to yyyy-mm-dd and 24h time format.

And opens ACDSee.

And when I close ACDSee it reverts back to dd-mm-yyyy ?

  • You can use exiftool to rename your files according to the embedded EXIF date in whatever format you choose.

  • yes that works, thanks @Mark Setchell. I use this exiftool command: exiftool -d "%Y-%m-%d %H,%M,%S%%-c" '-filename<${DateTimeOriginal} $Make-$Model.%e' image001.jpg
