Title: how to fill headline with the filename
Post by: mhdebokx on January 06, 2014, 03:51:27 PM
I'd like to fill the iptc.headline tag with the filename from the windows command line

I tried several ways to manage this, without succes  >:( like
-headline=filename
-headline=%f
"-headline<%f"

can you tell me how this can be done ?

I suppose that reading the documentation (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html) isn't an option, so trial and error is the only resort.

If you kept trying, you may have eventually discovered "-headline<filename"
