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:

  1. Click "Clone or download" (top right), and unzip the downloaded zip file.

  2. Open the "Terminal.app" application.

  3. 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!
    foo@bar:~$ osascript ~/Desktop/Timestamp-Media.scpt /User/John/Desktop/test
    AppleScript complete!
