date picture taken sort order

[primozz]

OK, after 'transition through black' question, here's another one ;-)

I have many pictures taken from different cameras (for the same event: wedding)...now I need them to be sorted in date (hour) sort order...

Unfortunately these .jpg files have now different (later) dates (and hours). But I found the right date (and hour) after next step: /properties/summary/date picture taken (EXIF data?).

I'm wondering can this sorting be done in PTE project? And why not ;-)

Any help or idea for this kind of sorting out?

Bye, Primozz

AS A QUICK WORKAROUND

rename each pict

example

01_existing filename

02_existing filename

etc

or if you know the order they are supposed to be in

drag and drop them -- or up or down function

but make sure you do save's as you proceed

and

if it is a large show, as you get it started make templates with different namesto signify what is going on

when you get it right you can always delete the extra files

I think Igor has some problems handling exif data as well as being sick at the present time

Thanks, Ken.

But I'm not sure if this instructions was useful to me...

Anyway, I've found the solution.

If you are interested, read on...

IrfanView AND Explorer did all the job!

I've opened Irfan View>Batch conversion&rename option (...browse the folder (Look in) where all mixed pictures are saved...and select View Menu>details.

Right click on columns>choose sort by> DatePictureTaken (if not there >select More)...

Click on that column.. after appeared among others 'sort by' options.. and voila!

Select all right sorted 'mixed' files and drag them to the Input files (on left side)...select output folder and batch rename# option...

Need more help?

PICTURE RENAMER

Hi Guys,

Talking about Picture Renaming, below is a 'Screenshot' of a Program called 'Picture ReNamer.

The Program is very compact, very stable, offers many options and a small footprint of 2.4mB

and comes complete with an 'Uninstaller'. Available from "Night-Owl"

The Author runs a nice Website with lots of "Bit-an-Pieces" (mostly freeware) and its clean. When you

hit the Web-Site go to Main Index and select Computing, the Program is about ½ way down the page.

By the way its a 'Lady Owner' named Anastacia ~ very classy Website and certainly knows 'Flash'

Have a look at her Photo Galley, excellent !

Brian.Conflow.
