Hi Phil,

how do I rename the exe-file for deleting all meta-data from a jpg?

I don't want to write the command-line
exiftool -all= desktop/JPG/*.jpg

But I want to rename the exe-file!!
For example to change the date I use
exiftool(-alldates='2011 07 11 08 00 00' -overwrite_original).exe
and drag the files there.
But to delete all meta-data, I can not find the right way to rename the exe :(
Please could you help me?

MANY thanks!
Mango

What have you tried?
See Writing Examples here (http://www.exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#writing_examples).
