I open a folder (usually huge folders with tens of thousands of photos) in Flat View (no folders) and select a folder format that I have set up to display a few columns, including Exif DTO. There are times when I have stopped waiting and selected and separated out the files without an Exif DTO, but then later in the project, I find more! It's just not dependable.Īs described in my original post, but I'll provide more detail: I cannot tell when the sorting is done, because the blue circle keeps on spinning. I sort and group by the Exif DTO column, and wait. I use a folder format I have set up that displays several different Exif columns, including Exif DateTimeOriginal (Exif DTO), so I DO have that column visible. Here are the various methods I have used to do this task: ![]() I have tried many ways of finding and selecting files with no Exif DTO. I use exiftool commands in ExifToolGUI, and have created some buttons in DOpus that work well but I have not yet figured out the key to what is needed for me to reliably get those commands to work as a button in DOpus. I should have said this in my original post: Ideally, I want a button. Using your code in the command editor, I tried to create a command a couple of different ways (using my other other working ExifTool commands in DOpus as a guide) but the command line screen just flashes on then closes. I tried your code in the Exiftool command line and got the error message ".is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." The collections always contain photos that have been scanned or have been stripped of their Exif date metadata. Collection sizes I work with range from 60,000 to 8 million files. ![]() The option to recreate folder structure is one of my favorite things about DOpus.Īs a professional photo organizer, I gather files from my client's EHDs, computers, CDs, cloud storage, etc. Recreating folder structure is very important to my work because folder names often include dates or date clues - like "Halloween 2013", and I need to preserve that information. My goal is to find, select, and move photos without an Exif DateTimeOriginal to another folder, and recreate the folder structure.
