This script is designed to rename .jpg files in a specified directory based on date taken in their EXIF data. This is useful for photographer who likes to rename all their files based on date taken for easier sorting.
The script iterates over all .jpg files within the given directory, reads the EXIF data to extract the original date and time the photo was taken, and renames the file accordingly. If a file cannot be renamed due to a naming conflict, the script will add one second to the original timestamp and attempt to rename it again.
