>  /mnt/sdcard/*.jpg
/mnt/sdcard/P0001.jpg -> /home/cdown/Photos/FUJIFILM/20230126_184547_0.jpg

Performance

exifrename has a strong focus on performance. On a sample modern laptop with a mid-spec SSD, we take ~0.02 seconds to produce new names for over 5000 files with the format {year}{month}{day}_{hour}{minute}{second}.
