Building Format Templates
Format templates are used to define file output structure. :'s are used to denote the start and end of a transformer section. Remediator will replace the first "transformer" it encounters in a section. If the first transformer found is empty everything between the :'s will not be added to the filename.
For example, if you have a format of :YYYY::-Make-:.:Ext: and a image named image.jpg that was taken in the year 2000 but does NOT have any metadata for the device make the output would be: 2000.jpg. However, if image.jpg did have a device make of "Sony" the output would be: 2000-Sony-.jpg.
The following tables list all currently supported "transformers" by Remediator-CLI.
