Hello everybody,
ist it possible to use a csv file with source data for exiftool?
For example:

123.jpg;haus;baum;micha
234.jpg;dorf;stadt;micha

Greetings
Micha

Hi Micha,

If you can write your own simple Perl script to parse
the file, then use can easily use the Image::ExifTool
routines to do all the hard work, but the command-line
application that is distributed with the libraries doesn't
have this functionality.

Another option is to load the file into a spreadsheet
and reformat each line as an exiftool command, then
export to text and run as a batch file.
