I found a topic Replacing camera model information with user-defined abbreviations (https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=15386.0).
Is it possible to combine (part of) Make and Model that way?
I'm not familiar with Perl, only bash and Python for now.
nero@k95vj:~/seg$ exiftool -s -make -model P64/C730UZ/2003/05/witte\ tijger.JPG
Make : OLYMPUS OPTICAL CO.,LTD
Model : C730UZ
It can be done with minor changes to that config.
]%Image::ExifTool::UserDefined = (
'Image::ExifTool::Composite' => {
MyModel => {
Require => {
0 => 'Model', # this will be $val[0]
1 => 'Make', # this will be $val[1]
},
ValueConv => q{
return 'CANON1' if ($val[0] =~ /^Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III/ and $val[1] =~/something/);
return 'CANON2' if ($val[0] =~ /^Canon EOS 7D/ and $val[1] =~/something else/);
return 'PANA38' if ($val[0] =~ /^Panasonic DMC-FZ38/ and $val[1] =~/something differnt/);
return undef;
},
},
},
);
1; #end
You would have to change the if conditions and the return value to your desired output.
Thank you for this solution.
But my goal is to get a generic solution to combine parts of both variables.
e.g. for the tags in the initial post i would like to obtain OLYMPUS_C730UZ, thus cut the make at the first space, joined with the model info.
Do I need to do that in the config file or is it possible inline in the exiftool command? I often use
${Model;s/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/_/g} to obtain the model of my Canon cameras. I guest this should be possible with the Make and Model combination too.
Yes, it can be done inline with something like this
${Make;s/^([^ ]+).*/$1/}
This captures everything from the start of the line to the first space and removes everything else.
