    If you’re on Linux exiftool can get the creation date for you: exiftool -p '$CreateDate' -d '%Y-%m-%d' FILENAME, and you could run tgat in a loop over your files, something like:

    mkdir -p out
    for f in *.jpg
    do
    createdate=$(exiftool -p '$CreateDate' -d '%Y-%m-%d' "${f}")
    cp -p "${f}" "out/${createdate} - ${f}"
    done
    

    Obviously don’t justbgo running code some stranger just posted on the internet, especially as I haven’t tested it, but that should copy images from the current directory to a subdirectory called ‘out’ with the correct filenames.

        I don’t see any HTML when I look at that comment from Lemmy, but kbin seems to make a real mess of rendering code blocks. Basically that bit had a few lines of code they could yse to do what they wanted.
