I am trying to replace exif data that has been removed usually by Lightroom when exporting a jpg.
The situation is that I may create several copies of one file. My naming convention is always to keep the original fname and add to it.
So DSC_3000.nef might have some jpg versions that are DSC_3000_mono.jpg and DSC_3000_v2.jpg
I'd like to find global solution to updating all versions, copying the exif data from the original nef file to all the jpg copies.
I can do this on a spedific file using:
exiftool -tagsFromFile DSC_3937.nef exif.args DSC_3937*.jpg
where exif.args has -exif:all in it. Both jpgs will be updated ok
However, I don't quite know how to do this for all nefs in the folder using something similar to:
exiftool -tagsFromFile %%f.nef -@ exif.args -ext xmp .
because I seemingly can't wild card the target suffix.
Can someone tell me the correct way to do this?

is done with "%8f". ie)
exiftool -tagsfromfile %d%8f.nef -@ exif.args -ext jpg DIR
If you are using this in a Windows .BAT file (as it seems you might
be), then you must double all '%' characters (as in your 2nd example).
I think this should do what you want.
