Simple Python script which given 'Whatsapp Images' folder, or any folder you like, it renames each file from Whatsapp format to a standard one, basing itself on last modified date.
Ex. IMG-YYYYMMDD-WAXXXX => IMG-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS
You will need Python3 to run this script.
DO NOT try to run it with Python2 because it won't work.
If you have git
, clone this repo with:
git clone https://github.com/dag7dev/WAProperRenamer.git
and place this script wherever you want.
If you don't have git, click here and place this script wherever you want.
Write directly on Windows or Linux:
python3 WAProperRenamer.py
-h: show this message
-p: changes the path. Ex WAProperRenamer.py -p C:\\Users\\User\\Desktop"
will scan the desktop folder
If no options are specified, it will be used the folder where the script is.
