Title: Copy GPS and Caption from jpg to ARW

Hi all,

by accident, I excluded RAW files from initial tagging.

How can I copy GPS fields and Caption from a set of jpg files to the corresponding raw files?

Code Select

exiftool -tagsfromfile %d%f.JPG -ext ARW .

overwrites also maker contents, which I consider undesirable.

Code Select

exiftool -tagsfromfile %d%f.JPG -EXIF:GPS -ext ARW .

yields "No writable tags"

TIA,

Oliver

Hi Oliver,

You must be careful when writing to raw files. Yes, writing the maker notes is VERY undesirable!

Try this:

exiftool -tagsfromfile %d%f.JPG -gps:all -usercomment -ext ARW DIR

(assuming that UserComment holds the caption that you want to copy)

Hi Phil,

many thanks for the quick reply. I remember I tried something like "gps:all" but likely with the wrong capitalization.

Capitalization doesn't matter.
