Title: Strip metadata and move to new folder
Post by: val on October 04, 2022, 06:33:01 AM
Hallo,

Completely new here.

I'm trying to remove all metadata from jpg files in a folder then move the files to a new folder - all in a single command. My current command strips the metadata then copies the files to the new folder. Any ideas on how I can modify the command to perform a move instead of a copying?

Code Select
exiftool -r -all= -o '/New/Destination/Folder' -ext jpg 'Folder/With/Images'
I'm on Linux. Thanks

Add -overwrite_original to the command.
