Title: export common tag from differnt directory/camera-type
Post by: angelo-sala on February 16, 2023, 04:19:09 AM
Hi, I gather information from different camera manufacturer image files in csv (looping different directories) and it's ok, but of course I have different header and data tags (see below). I would like to import into Excel, but different headers don't make it easy to collect them together. In the sample below i didn't copy all the tags but there are so many. I would get all the information possible. Is there a way to normalize it and have a common format?

Many thanks.

Hi Angelo,

The only way to have a common format is to specify all of the tags you want to extract on the command line.
