Title: Workflow write to IPTC?
Post by: salme on July 22, 2015, 06:52:28 AM
Thank you for exif-tool!
I write the filename into IPTC using:
exiftool "-iptc:caption-abstract<filename" *.jpg
I want to use this in a workflow but not quite sure how to set it up so that its esy to use, as I will use it alot.
How do I specify the folder hardcoded? Or can you create a bat file that you drop a folder on?
Is it possible to save the file with iptc to a different folder instead of backing up originals?
Thanks

In a .bat file: exiftool "-iptc:caption-abstract<filename" %*

exiftool "-iptc:caption-abstract<filename" -o DSTDIR/ SRCDIR
