I just downloaded the Mac version yesterday (10.5.8).
I'm building an AppleScript to parse keyword content and add it to the placed images in a set of InDesign files.
As an example, the constructed command string is as follows:
exiftool -keywords='405-TomsCabin.indd' -keywords='TomsCabin' -keywords='405' -keywords='400' '/Volumes/REDACTED/TomsCabin/Links/WebBuddha.psd'
The problem is, that after the command is run, only the last keyword is set.
What am I doing wrong?
Hi,
To add keywords:
-exiftool -keywords='first keyw' myphoto.jpg
-all eventually existing keywords are deleted and keyword 'first keyw' is saved.
-exiftool -keywords+='second keyw' myphoto.jpg
-keyword 'second keyw' is added to existing list of keywords. That is, sign + must be put before = sign.

Thanks. That's the ticket.

This should work. Your syntax is correct for adding multiple entries to a list:
> exiftool -keywords='405-TomsCabin.indd' -keywords='TomsCabin' -keywords='405' -keywords='400' a.psd
1 image files updated
> exiftool -keywords a.psd
Keywords : 405-TomsCabin.indd, TomsCabin, 405, 400- Phil
