Hello!

I started using PFrank yesterday, and I like it very much. The customization is awesome. I've created a set of custom lists, which enable me to sort movies and images in the order they were taken. The images normally have the EXIF data in which the 'Date Taken' info is embedded, but the movies do not. Because of that, I made two separate passes, in which the correct attributes are called: For the images the Image Data %CreationDate% and for the movies the File Properties %LastModifiedDate%.

The complete renaming I want to do, takes four separate procedures. They work exactly like they should, when I execute them manually from PFrank itself.
But, because there are four of them, I'd like to call them from the command line. Took a bit of struggle before I got it right, but eventually, the image property is not inserted correctly! Sad

The movies are correctly renamed (2011.11.10 - Name & Sequence Number.jpg), but the image information somehow doesn't function when used from command line: (%CreationDate% - Name & Sequence Number.jpg)

Any ideas on how this can happen? I'd really like this to be fixed or pointed in the right direction. Thanks in advance!

I don't know off-hand how that could happen since the same part of the program is running during the renaming whether in command line or gui mode.

I don't have much time to debug PFrank anymore but if you could try the -v option in command line mode then that might show something. Also send me the PFrank.log file (see the Help manual 'Installation' section to find the location of the log file).

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your fast reply, sorry for my late one Wink

I'll check it out sometime next week and i'll send you the log if the -v option doesn't bring anything.
