OK I have spent an hour trying to RTFM and other forum posts and I am still stumped, so now I must ask here. Sorry if this is obvious
I am trying to copy the contents of the FilmMode tag from a Fuji RAF and append to the Subject tag in an already existing XMP sidecar, which already has some info. I have this command which will replace the contents of the Subject tag. I see many examples for appending that say to repeat the tag name, but I don't see how to combine the append operation with the copy from other field operation
exiftool -tagsfromfile 20211123_0063.RAF "-Subject<FilmMode" -ext xmp 20211123_0063.XMP
I think I have seen https://exiftool.org/metafiles.html for how to do something this for entire directories, but not sure how to apply it to a single file.
And I gather there is a way to use "%d%f" so that I don't need to include the full filename a second time, but I am not good at scripting, unfortunately.
Thanks in advance if anyone knows how to do this.
Mick
See the last paragraph of FAQ #17 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q17).
exiftool -tagsfromfile 20211123_0063.RAF "-Subject+<FilmMode" -ext xmp 20211123_0063.XMP
Thank you SG. Much appreciate -- sorry I did not check there earlier.
