Rename recovered Canon raw files

After recovering a lot of Canon raw files using testdisk, all the files had the wrong filenames, making it difficult to re-associate with the Lightroom catalogue.

To solve the problem, I made use of the Perl Exif tool by Phil Harvey:

To install:

1. git clone https://github.com/listedegarde/rename-recovered-canon-raw.git
2. cd rename-recovered-canon-raw/
3. wget http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/Image-ExifTool-10.24.tar.gz
4. tar -zxvf Image-ExifTool-10.24.tar.gz
5. rm Image-ExifTool-10.24.tar.gz

To run:

Where ~/Recovered/ is the directory of the recovered files.
DO NOT forget to include the trailing slash!

perl run.pl ~/Recovered/

Note that this will automatically copy and sort CR2 files into folders by year, month, and day. Example: ~/Recovered/2016/07/27/IMG_2555.CR2
