Hi! Love the Exiftool app.
To open Sony A7III files in Lightroom Classic I've been using the command line:
exiftool -sonymodelid="ILCE-7M2" -ext ARW -r DIRECTORY
But as I don't want duplication of the files and to individually select and delete all the original files that are created after the ExifTool metadata amends, is there a way of modifying this command to simply to edit the metadata and overwrite the orginal RAW file?
And if not, how do I make this command put new or original files into their own folder for easier deletion?
Thanks in advance!
To delete the _original copies after they have been created, you can do this:
exiftool -delete_original -ext ARW -r DIRECTORY
or to avoid creating the _original copies in the first place:
exiftool -sonymodelid="ILCE-7M2" -ext ARW -r -overwrite_original DIRECTORY
or to put the new files in a different directory:
exiftool -sonymodelid="ILCE-7M2" -ext ARW -r -o OUTDIR/%d%f.%e DIRECTORY

Amazing! Thanks so much Phil.
