Title: Copy the "title" of an image in the "keywords"
Post by: teddybox on August 02, 2022, 07:39:40 PM

Hi there,
I am new, and especially beginner in ExifTool.

I come here because I need your help for an action that would help me enormously.

I have a batch of around 5500 photos. In these photos, there is the name of the people visible on them registered in the properties of the file, in the "title" field.

I would like to copy - paste for each file the "title" field in the "keywords" field.

I'm strongly crossing my fingers that this is possible, without me having to open and do this manually on 5500 photos.

Hoping you can help me with this task.

Wishing you a good day.

This is certainly possible. The command could look something like this:

Code Select

exiftool "-subject<title" -sep ";" DIR
This will split the Title into separate keywords at the semicolons and write them to XMP Subject. Reading FAQs 3 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q3) and 17 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q17) may help if you have any questions.
