Use string prefix while batch tagging

[anithegregorian]

Hi,

I'm trying to set EXIF imagedescription tag by using image filename without extension. So far this works:

Code Select Expand

exiftool "-exif:imagedescription<basename" -r -ext .jpg * -overwrite_original

While this works perfectly well, can I add a string prefix to imagedescription. Something like:

Code Select Expand

MYIMAGE-FILENAME

So the imagedescription tag become PREFIX followed by FILENAME

Try this:

exiftool "-exif:imagedescription<MYIMAGE=$basename" -r -ext .jpg * -overwrite_original

The above double quotes are used in Windows.  Use single quotes instead if you are on Mac or Linux.
