[opensuse-support] bash script problem

I regularly import photos from a flash drive and rename them with a script to YYMODD_HHMMSS_<orig_file_name>.ext
Sometime recently my script, which I have used successfully for quite a few years, failed me and I cannot determine why.
The script: exiv2 mv \-k \-r %y%m%d_%H%M%S_:basename: \.\/*.{nef,jpg}
exiv2 is a compiled app similar to exiftool, a perl app

in exiv2 :basename: is the original filename w/o extension
I understand the failure as the script is trying to write the next filename as an existing filename. What I do not understand is why ":basename:" is not being applied. If ":basename:" was being applied there would be no failure as there would be no duplication of filenames.
and I tried escaping, \:basename\:
and after further experimentation, I have found the solution: remove "mv" from the script: exiv2 \-k \-r %y%m%d_%H%M%S_:basename: \.\/*.{nef,jpg} works tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

They also used to prefer proprietary, non-interoperable, and badly documented image formats <sarcasm> but just look how quickly they've progressed in ~30 years </sarcasm>.
and why use "-"? the sheme of the OP seems perfect to me
Don't overlook the winky and the spirit that the help was offered in (after his problem had already been solved). But, OP had 2 digits for year for a conversion he was choosing himself, forming good habits is a good thing, and if you ever have to read YYYYMMDD in a non-fixed space font (like some of the cool kids like to use nowadays) then the two extra characters can really help in discerning between year, month and day fields. Two "extra" characters might be a lot on a diddy screen, but I still ponder how much of the DOS 8.3 filenaming convention constrains us in systems that always had magic numbers and long filenames.
