How would I `wget` files and then save them by date downloaded rather than filename?
- by searchfgold6789
My goal: To download 131 JPEGs and save them in a file name format that is relative to the date/time format rather than their file name.
I have already tried things that involve changing the files' names after they have already been downloaded. However, these methods do not work because it seems like exif data is not being kept. For example: jhead -n%Y%m%d-%H%M%S *.jpg just returns a bunch of errors saying:
Possible new names for for '{filename}.jpg' already exist
File '{filename}.jpg' contains no exif date stamp. Using file date
Usually, as in this case, I wind up with less files than I started out with.
So is there some command I can pass to wget instead? I have already tried the --timestamp option with no success. (The man page is not to clear about what that does.)
