Hello,
i want to Copy all EXIF-Data from my RAF-Photos Folder to a other JPEG-Photos Folder.
So normally i use this since many Months and it will work:
exiftool -tagsfromfile %d%f.RAF -exif:all --subifd:all *.jpg
Exactly:
cpX:~ --$ exiftool -tagsfromfile /Users/--/TEST/102_FUJI/%d%f.RAF -exif:all --subifd:all /Users/--/TEST/*.jpg
Warning: Error opening file - /Users/--/TEST/102_FUJI/Users/--/TEST/DSCF3547_1k.RAF
Warning: Error opening file - /Users/--/TEST/102_FUJI/Users/--/TEST/DSCF3548_1k.RAF
Warning: Error opening file - /Users/--/TEST/102_FUJI/Users/--/TEST/DSCF3549_1k.RAF
0 image files updated
3 image files unchanged
cpX:~ --$
but since some Months this will not longer work on my Mac mini (OS 10.6.5).
When i use only one File:
cpX:~ --$ exiftool -tagsfromfile /Users/--/TEST/102_FUJI/DSCF3548.RAF -exif:all --subifd:all /Users/--/TEST/DSCF3548_1k.jpg
1 image files updated
cpX:~ --$
...it will work, but why not with Folders ?
The *.RAF Files are protected since EXIFTOOL 8.40 will overwrite all Data in my Original RAF-Files instead to COPY the Data from the RAF Photos when i use some other Copy Commands !
So was must i write in my Terminal to Copy all the EXIF-Data from my RAF Photos-Folder to my JPEG Photos-Folder without overwriting all the Data in my RAF Photos ?
I need a working solution...

Hi Carsten,
This command looks good.
But this command isn't. You have included the directory name twice in this command for the -tagsfromfile argument. As well as specifying it explicitly, you have a %d which gives you the directory of the source image. I think you want to remove the %d.
ExifTool will absolutely never touch your RAF images if they are only sources for the -tagsfromfile option. Somehow you must have specified them as target images if they were modified.
