Description: Adds an entry to Nautilus' contextual menu to rename photos to their EXIF date This program adds a new entry to the contextual menu which allows us to rename the selected JPEG and TIFF photographies (and the ones contained inside the selected folders) to the date and hour in which the photos were taken, using the corresponding EXIF tag.
Of course, the new menu item won't show up if the image doesn't have EXIF tags.
0. This bug appears to completely suspend all instances of Nautilus on the Desktop while (presumably) the plug-in navigates large directory trees.
1. It should not navigate a tree unless asked. Try doing this from the root directory "/"!
2. It doesn't need to navigate a tree to decide whether or not to show a menu item in the right-hand-click context menu. This is just unnecessary double-dealing, and a nuisance for large directories as discussed in paragraph 0. Instead just always show the menu item. If you select it and nothing is renamed, that's fine: you can say "0 files renamed" or similar.
This plug-in must be used with care - if used on a directory where you have several (e.g. edited) jpg files, they will have the same EXIF date+time.
What happens is that all but one of the files will be * DELETED *.
