AppleScript Timestamp Media

An AppleScript for renaming image and video files by their creation date, within a specific folder.

Uses the EXIF (Exchangeable Image File) creation date meta-data stored for each file.

How to run this AppleScript:

Click "Clone or download" (top right), and unzip the downloaded zip file.
Open the "Terminal.app" application.
Run the following:

(Do not type the foo@bar:~$, as this represents the Command Line prompt)

*1* - Path to the AppleScript file.

*2* - (Absolute) Path to the folder to be modified by the AppleScript.
```
foo@bar:~$ osascript *1* *2*
```
When the AppleScript has finished successfully, a message will be returned to the standard output:
```
AppleScript complete!
```
Examples:
```
foo@bar:~$ osascript ./Timestamp-Media.scpt /User/John/Desktop
AppleScript complete!
