Title: Lightroom plugins for EXIFtool
Post by: martenzi on August 05, 2021, 11:26:32 AM
I searched the forum and struck by the lack of content on integration with Lightroom. I have check out the options from google search but most plugins does not seem to work on latest lightroom classic.
I want recommendations on lightroom plugins related to exiftool. I dont fully like LR, but better than most options, and exiftool is the fastest and most reliable tool for me. But I need to organize visually a lot of media files, and want to make metadata edits that goes fast on many files at multiple locations.
I want LR to use exiftool to write to files, this does not seem like a unusual request. Also want to view exif data in LR on the amount that exifttool shows it.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

I can't offer any advice on Lightroom, but you might take a look at Imatch (https://www.photools.com/).  It uses exiftool on the back end and it has very powerful features for organizing files and dealing with metadata.
