.asf .jpeg .mov .mts .tif
.avi .jpg .mp4 .png .tiff
and their uppercase versions. The extensions are converted to 3 lowercase characters (like JPEG → jpg, tiff → tif). The base names are converted to the format yyyymmdd-hhmmss as reported by exiftool, using its -datetimeoriginal, -createdate, or -gpsdatetime options, in that order. If renaming would generate an existing filename, an extra character a-z is added. Files which lack date/time information in their metadata will be renamed to 101.xxx, 102.xxx, ... Base names that are already in that format are skipped here, unless you use the --all option. When one or more files don’t contain date/time information in their metadata, you get a warning and you are asked to make a decision about what to do with them:
1. go on 2. go on but set basename of dateless files in metadata title 3. skip dateless files 4. do nothing
