You might be right about mixing the two obscure filetypes.  But it would require an actual Netscape Packetized Audio file to compare with. And I was unable to find any such file, as was probably your experience. Practically no information at all except for the multitude of "File extension type" websites, which are all pretty much copy/pasted from each other.

Each photo has the people tagged as a "Keyword" with the names separated with semicolons.

You need to figure the tag that holds the data. Use the command in FAQ #3 to figure out the exact tag name and group.

It sounds like it might be XPKeywords, as that saves tags as a semicolon separated string, but if the data instead appears in Subject or Keywords and is still semicolon separated, then the data has been incorrectly written to the files, as those tags are list type tags, where each entry is saved completely separate from the others.  Exiftool will output it as a CommaSpace separated string, but that isn't how they are saved internally.

But it will still be difficult to do.  It would require a shotgun approach similar to what was done here. It would also be useful to know what the maximum number of keywords used in a single file, but for that, the actual tag name is needed.

It seems  "exiftool -api geolocation" is only applicable to a specific file each time?

No, you can mix as many directories and individual files on the command line as you want, limited only top the max length of the command line (a bit over 8,000 characters on Windows, something like 100k characters on Linux/Mac).

For example
exiftool -ISO C:\pictures\Wedding D:\MorePictures\SingleFile.jpg E:\Another\Picture\Directory\

Add the -r (-recurse) option to recurse into subdirectories.  For recursion, see also Common Mistake #2.

Cool. Many thx. Exactly what I want. Haven't found that on a fast search in the documentation.

Being inexperienced in a subject is not dumb.

It's taken me a literal decade to get to know exiftool as well as I do, and there are still things I don't know or have enough experience in to provide answers for.

Use the # version of the -n (--printConv) option to extract specific tags as their raw values
-Model -FocalLength -FNumber -ISO -ExposureTime# -LensID# ...

I want to extract

Code Select Expand

-Model -FocalLength -FNumber -ISO -DateTimeOriginal -ImageDescription -Make -Software -Flash -ExposureProgram -MeteringMode -WhiteBalance -GPSLatitude -GPSLatitudeRef -GPSLongitude -GPSLongitudeRef -Orientation as numeric values, but

Code Select Expand

-ExposureTime -LensID as the standard string. How can I do that and have JSON output as result? Is that possible?

Newbies / Copy photos into folders based...

Last post by AmericanLoco - Today at 11:49:33 AM

Hi,

I have 200 photos I took at an event. The photos contain multiple people. I tagged the individuals in each photo using FastPhotoTagger (which actually uses exiftool).

Now, I'd like to send each person at this event a copy of every photo that contains them.

So I have my source directory with all of the photos in it. Each photo has the people tagged as a "Keyword" with the names separated with semicolons. I also have another directory full of empty folders, each folder named with the same names used in the tags.

So I'd like to copy my source images, into those named folders, based on the keywords.

For example, Photo001 might have the Keywords "Ronald; Wendy; Denny; Tim". I would like to copy Photo001 into my separate destination folders named "Ronald", "Wendy", "Denny" and "Tim". I want to do this to all ~200 photos in my source directory.
