Hi all,
I use Capture One for my post processing, which includes applying ratings, colors, etc.
Typically I make jpg/raw pairs with my camera.
For whatever reason, Capture One chooses to write jpg metadata into the sidecar files vice into the file itself.
Currently I use John Beardsworth's Syncomatic in LightRoom to write the metadata from the sidecars into the jpg's.
I'm trying to wean myself from LR, so is there a way to write the metadata in the sidecar into the jpg with Exiftool?
Thank you for all your assistance

See Metadata Sidecar Files example #15 (https://exiftool.org/metafiles.html#EX15). You can use the -ext (-extension) option (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#ext-EXT---ext-EXT--extension) to limit the file types to process
-ext jpg -ext NEF -ext CR2
or use it to process all files except for XMP, because you don't really want to waste time copying the XMP files back onto themselves
--ext XMP
Thank you
