Dear all,
I've got a large number of folders into a parental folder and every folder contain 3 TIFF file. I'd want to export in csv the metadata of whole images, after that modify the csv file and then import the metadata.
With this code I export the metadata:
exiftool -csv -iptc:all -r /parental/folder > metadati.csv
it works, but appears this message of error: "Warning: [minor] Fixed incorrect URI for xmlns:MicrosoftPhoto ...".
After modification of CSV file, I try this:
exiftool -csv=/parental/folder/metadati.csv /parental/folders -r
after the running, I notice that in every folder the programm write the metadata, but now there are copies of every image (e.g.: imageXY.TIFF and imageXY.TIFF_original), and I don't know the reason: I'd like to overwrite the metadata, but I don't want to create a copy of every image.
Thank you in advance,
Matteo
Hi Matteo,
Try adding the -overwrite_original option when writing.
