Excelent work!
Well the document warns you that the main page is overwhelming, but I wanted to rename jpegs with the date and time taken as the prefix so that I could merge pictures taken with two cameras and keep the order correct. It worked like a charm. Had to guess that %Y gave me a 4 digit year and that the Custom box would accept a format string. Also had to guess which menu to use to extract EXIF date. The PDF file which I read later would have answered most of my questions. All in all a very useful program.
