Print Page - Adding part of image filename to metadata

Title: Adding part of image filename to metadata
Post by: msbc on May 01, 2011, 05:43:18 AM

Hi,

I'd like to add part of the image filename (not including the file extension) to the Title tag but can't work out how. Would really appreciate some tips.

Example: for image MSC_2011-04-04_1234.CR2 I want to write "MSC_2011-04-04_1234" to Title.
exiftool "title<filename" -ext CR2 . will get me the whole filename but I want to drop the file extension.

Thanks,
Mark

We call that "basename".
Search the forum for basename and you will find some help.
