Title: document name
Post by: j99mac on August 13, 2012, 04:03:54 PM

I am trying to set up a script using applescript to add document name to folder of images.
This is what I have so far. How would I have the document also include the file name?

Did you mean to attach a script?

Anyway, you can do this to copy the file name into another tag:

exiftool '-DESTINATION_TAG<SOME TEXT $filename SOME MORE TEXT OR MAYBE MORE TAGS WITH $TAG' FOLDER_NAME

The command could be something like this:

exiftool '-documentname<$documentname $directory $filename' /Photo/Photo01/001A.tif
