I am trying to extract the exif date from a image file using pascalscript or other alternatives that is available for use in Renamer. Does anyone happen to have written such a script?

Re: Extract image file exif date

I manage to extract the exif date and rename the file with pascal script. The script is as below:

var
  DateTime: TDateTime;

begin
  DateTime := FileTimeModified(FilePath);
  FileName := WideExtractBaseName(FileName) +
    ' (' + CalculateMetaTag(FilePath, 'EXIF_Date') +
    ')' + WideExtractFileExt(FileName);
end.

However, the extracted exif date is in the format of (yyyy-dd-mm hh.mm.ss). Is there any to reformat it again to ddmmyyyy or even better dd Jan yyyy
