I want to copy the EXIF:XPtitle field (and other such XP fields) to IPTC:headline (and other IPTC fields) within the same JPEG-file.
What is the correct way of doing this with ExifTool?
Thanks for suggestions.
Bert

Of course I mean: copying the data in a number of files with a single command.

for %%f in (*.jpg) do exiftool -TagsFromFile %%f "-EXIF:XPtitle>IPTC:headline" %%f

It is very common for people who know shell scripting
to want to use a for loop, but these are almost never
necessary with exiftool. An equivalent command is:
exiftool -ext jpg "-EXIF:XPtitle>IPTC:headline" .
Note I have also dropped the "-tagsFromFile @", which is
implied by the "-SRCTAG>DSTTAG" argument.

I tried this and can not get it to work. I want to copy IPTC:comment-abstract to IPTC:headline in a bunch of files.

Hi Dumketu,
What system are you running? What command line
did you use? What version of exiftool are you using?
