Title: Command --> no Backupfile: How is it correctly written?
Post by: Mango on December 02, 2010, 06:37:42 PM

HI :)

in some cases I use the "direct button". There is only one problem for me: I don't want the backupfile. Unfortunately, I do not know how to write the command correctly :-(
Because of that, I ask for help what's wrong. I write the following in the command line:

-Exif:AllDates="2010:12:01 08:00:00" -Exif:Artist="MyName" -Exif:Copyright="MyName" -overwrite_original

Dates, Artist and Copyright is working.
But how must I write it correctly, so that no backup file is written?

Thank you for help!!

Hi Mango,

The command-line arguments look good to me. Hopefully Bogdan will understand what is happening.

Are you sure that the "_original" files aren't just left over from a previous operation?

How embarrassingly! :-[ Thus it was. :-[
Thanks a lot!

Have a good Pre-Christmas-Time!
