Hello everybody,
where is my mistake that the rekursive option is not working.
Only the file in the mainfolder is converting, and than the batch is soping :-(
h:\vetmed_converter\script\exe\exiftool -r -gpslatitude="47 24 3.05" -gpslatituderef=N -gpslongitude="8 33 4.01" -gpslongituderef=E  H:\03_Zuerich_IPTC_Backup\ch\*.*

Many people seem to have trouble with this, maybe I should
put it in the FAQ, but it is clear in the documentation:


So this will only work if "H:\03_Zuerich_IPTC_Backup\ch\*.*"
includes the subdirectories you want recursed.  There are only rare
instances when wildcards should be used on the exiftool command line.
Instead, specify a directory name and let exiftool scan the directories.
