Simple Image Tools Online Help - Using tags to name folder and files

To use tags to sort and/or rename files in the Simple Image Tools products, use the required tag name enclosed by the lesser than (<) and greater then (>) brackets. For e.g. if you want to name a file using its name together with its height attribute, you could use the following tag: <file filename>_<image height><file ext>.

Note that EXIF tags are only recognised if the image contains Exif information. See here for an explanation of Exif tags.

The following are tags recognised by Image Sort:

Name	Description
SEQUENCE	The sequence of the image that is being processed. Starts from 1.
FILE FOLDER	The folder name of the source file. File name is omitted.
FILE FILENAME	The source file name. Folder name is omitted.
FILE FILENAME_NOEXT	The source file name without the extension and folder name.
FILE EXT	The extension element of the source file name.
FILE DATETIMECREATED	The date and time the source image file was created on disk.
FILE DATETIMEMODIFIED	The date and time the source image file was last modified on disk.
IMAGE HEIGHT	The height of the image in pixels.
IMAGE WIDTH	The width of the image in pixels.
EXIF ARTIST	This tag records the name of the camera owner, photographer or image creator.
EXIF COPYRIGHT	This tag is used to indicate both the photographer and editor copyrights.
EXIF DESCRIPTION	A character string giving the title of the image.
EXIF MAKE	The manufacturer of the recording equipment.
EXIF MODEL	The model name or model number of the equipment.
EXIF DATETIME	The date and time when the original image data was generated.
EXIF WIDTH	The width of the image as stored in the EXIF block.
EXIF HEIGHT	The height of the image as stored in the EXIF block.

Formatting options

Numeric values

You can format numeric values so that they are padded with 0s at the beginning. For e.g. if an image width is 1024 pixels, the following tag <IMAGE WIDTH:00000> will generate the value 01024, instead of 1024 if the formatting option was not used.

Date and time values

You can format date and time values using a variety of format specifiers. You add the format specifier after the tag, prefixed by a ':' e.g. <EXIF DATETIME:yyyy mm dd>. The following are the supported format specifiers:

d	Displays the day as a number without a leading zero (1-31).
dd	Displays the day as a number with a leading zero (01-31).
ddd	Displays the day as an abbreviation (Sun-Sat) using the strings given by the ShortDayNames global variable.
dddd	Displays the day as a full name (Sunday-Saturday) using the strings given by the LongDayNames global variable.
ddddd	Displays the date using the format given by the ShortDateFormat global variable.
dddddd	Displays the date using the format given by the LongDateFormat global variable.
m	Displays the month as a number without a leading zero (1-12). If the m specifier immediately follows an h or hh specifier, the minute rather than the month is displayed.
mm	Displays the month as a number with a leading zero (01-12). If the mm specifier immediately follows an h or hh specifier, the minute rather than the month is displayed.
mmm	Displays the month as an abbreviation (Jan-Dec) using the strings given by the ShortMonthNames global variable.
mmmm	Displays the month as a full name (January-December) using the strings given by the LongMonthNames global variable.
yy	Displays the year as a two-digit number (00-99).
yyyy	Displays the year as a four-digit number (0000-9999).
h	Displays the hour without a leading zero (0-23).
hh	Displays the hour with a leading zero (00-23).
n	Displays the minute without a leading zero (0-59).
nn	Displays the minute with a leading zero (00-59).
s	Displays the second without a leading zero (0-59).
ss	Displays the second with a leading zero (00-59).
z	Displays the millisecond without a leading zero (0-999).
zzz	Displays the millisecond with a leading zero (000-999).
t	Displays the time using the format given by the ShortTimeFormat global variable.
tt	Displays the time using the format given by the LongTimeFormat global variable.
am/pm	Uses the 12-hour clock for the preceding h or hh specifier, and displays 'am' for any hour before noon, and 'pm' for any hour after noon. The am/pm specifier can use lower, upper, or mixed case, and the result is displayed accordingly.
a/p	Uses the 12-hour clock for the preceding h or hh specifier, and displays 'a' for any hour before noon, and 'p' for any hour after noon. The a/p specifier can use lower, upper, or mixed case, and the result is displayed accordingly.
ampm	Uses the 12-hour clock for the preceding h or hh specifier, and displays the contents of the TimeAMString global variable for any hour before noon, and the contents of the TimePMString global variable for any hour after noon.
/	Displays the date separator character given by the DateSeparator global variable.
:	Displays the time separator character given by the TimeSeparator global variable.
