Image Renamer - Rename image files by date taken

To rename all images in a folder with their "DateTimeOriginal" metadata. Especially helpful if have images from multiple devices (camera, phone, friend's camera) with different naming and you want to merge and sort them in chronological order.

I personally use this script every time I come back from a travel and got photos on my camera, phone, and some sent by people I met on the way.

Note : If no metadata "DateTimeOriginal" is available the image won't be renamed, you will have to do it manually.
