Title: Save filename in all image file formats
Post by: mhoehn@hotmail.de on May 02, 2011, 04:49:17 PM
I want to save original file name to recognize filename modifications by users.
Is there a way to save filename as metadata in exiftool even for image types like BMP?
If not, is there any other tool available to save filenames into all major image file formats as metadata?

BMP images do not support metadata, so it won't work for these files.

However, it will work with other common formats such as JPEG, PNG, TIFF, but the solution is unique for each image type.
