Post by: HBox on May 02, 2014, 01:53:00 PM
Is it it possible to use the sep option in an args file?
If so how?

Thanks

Each option argument must be on a separate line in the argfile.

Yes, I am awar of the need to have each option in a seperate line.

I tried a couple of different way, all with similar result:

K:\PhotoTag testing\USA2013\2013-06-1617 DesertBotanicalGarden, Phoenix Zoo\SX50\DCIM\102___06\IMG_2496.JPG
-overwrite_original_in_place
-sep "x " 
-keywords=Stuttgartx Berlin

I also tried with just x and ", " and ,

Ignored superfluous tag names or invalid options: -sep x
Ignored superfluous tag names or invalid options: -sep ", "
Ignored superfluous tag names or invalid options: -sep ,

You need to put each argument on a separate line, like this:

-sep
x


"x " is an argument of the -sep option.
