Windows 10: Bulk rename photos to date taken

I have found old discussions that offer this link gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Rename-picture-files-with-97738191 but that is redirected to TechNet gallery. Is there an updated script that works with Windows 11?

Windows 10 and Bulk Rename Utility: opening a file

Rodrigo,

Thanks for the reply. The Bulk Rename Utility does not open files. It just renames them. But while running the Bulk Rename Utility, you can double click (or right click and open) on a file name and the image will open using the default app for jpg files. At my home computer, I start Bulk Rename and see a list of jpg files to rename. I click on a file name and it opens the image with Microsoft Photos on my screen. At my office, I do the same thing and I get a MS Photos icon on the taskbar.

I have tried using different default apps for jpg files like MS Paint and get the exact same results. For some reason, my office computer is not opening the jpg files so that I can see them but just creating a Photos icon on the taskbar.

Thanks for your suggestions.

 

Photos not displayed by Taken Date

You missed something.

When I scanned the photos I erroneously identified them as 1968 and filed them in a folder (such as 01-1968) in a folder 1968 in Pictures. When I realized the wrong year, I changed the Taken Date of each photo to 1969, renamed the folder 01-1969 and moved
it to a folder 1969 in Pictures.

File Explorer lists everything correctly., but the Photo app still displays the photos as 1968.

How to organize photos by Date Taken AND Date Modified

Hi.

I have over 2000 photos on a jump drive that I have imported over the past 5 years. I'm trying to organize them by chronological order with "Date Modified" but there was a glitch and about 200 photos all have the same date when they were taken in a span
of 4 months. I tried organizing them by "Date Taken" but screenshot photos don't have a "Date Taken" timestamp. Is there a way I can organize photos by "Date Taken" AND organize photos by "Date Modified" (if they don't have "Date Taken.")

Any other suggestions or third party programs that converts the "Date Taken" TO "Date Modified"????

Let me know if this isn't clear!

Thanks.
