Filter your Photos Based on their EXIF Metadata
Select your photos and filter them based on their exif metadata, match them to IOS, make, model or any available property. Then select other actions for filtered photos. You could move them to another folder, or delete them using FileBrowser Professional's Custom Tasks.
How to Create a Custom Task
- Open the Sync Tasks location on FileBrowser's home screen, tap the plus icon in the bottom toolbar and select "Create Custom Task"
- Leave the top step as it is and tap the "Add Step" button
- Change the new step to "Filtering by Exif property" and change the dropdown below to the exif property you want to filter on.
- Change the condition from "equal to" to any condition here and place the text you want to match on below.
- Your step should now look something like this: "Filtering by Exif property" "Model" "equal to" "D3000". This will filter all the selected images to just the ones taken with a D3000 camera.
- You can now do something with these photos by adding an extra step, such as:
- Add or edit their IPTC properties in bulk.
- Move the files to another folder.
- Remove their GPS information.
- Rename the files using their Exif metadata - like in this screenshot.
FN = FileName followed by a date format of your choosing. You can also add other exif properties to your filenames such as Make or Model etc. Tap the help icon for a full list.
