The PhotoMove program searches through all files in the specified directory and looks for valid exif information. If your CR2 files contain exif information in the format given in the Exif Standard then the program will also work on them. If you have files in CR2 (or any other proprietary RAW format for that matter) simply download PhotoMove and give it a try. You could test it by making a new folder and copying a few of your photo files into it. Then run the program.

I’m sorry but I don’t have the ability to test the program on the hundreds of different proprietary formats put out by the various camera manufacturers. But as I stated above, many files (such as Microsoft Excel for example) contain Standard Exif data even though you might wonder why they do. Give it a try! PhotoMove doesn’t change or damage your files. If it doesn’t work, just delete the program. It won’t hurt my feelings.

I really do appreciate all the hundreds of people who have downloaded and are using PhotoMove. Currently somewhere between 200 and 500 copies are downloaded every month. And the program has been stable for a long time.

So I was a little surprised to see the above user comment about an install problem. All comments get immediately routed to my email so that I can respond if necessary. Since this one indicated there was a problem I wrote an email back explaining the options that he could try initially to sort things out. And then wrote out how he could contact me if he still had additional problems.

It didn’t take a ‘long’ time to do this. But everything does take time doesn’t it?

I hit the send button on my email to send my reply. Almost immediately the email was bounced back to me saying the user had provided a phony email address.

I have never had anything like this happen before. I don’t know why someone would take the time to do this intentionally. So to the user that sent the email. (I don’t have your name because you entered the phony name ‘skip’ in the name field.) If you really do have a problem and if (by chance) you accidentally entered your email address incorrectly, please use the contact me page or post another comment with a valid name and email address so I can get in touch with you.

I’d be happy to help you out.

Suggestion (may have already been made) to have an input which allows people to choose their own method of naming the folder e.g. yyyymmdd; yyyy-mm-dd; yyyy_mm_dd etc.

I appreciate your taking the time to give feedback!
