Title: Folding tags across make/models
Post by: cb831 on July 28, 2019, 06:46:08 PM
Hi

I'm new to ExifTool and it looks like an excellent tool !

Over time I have used several makes and models of cameras and hence jpg's have different sets of tags.
Is the any easy way to fold tags from different cameras into a well defined set of tags ?
E.g. Lens / LensId / LensType could be folded into uLens.

Thanks

Yes.  First, decide what destination tag you want, then copy all the other tags into it.  The ones that don't exist will have no effect.  eg)

exiftool "-ulens<lens" "-ulens<lensid" "-ulens<lenstype" DIR
