Title: Newbie needs assistance with reading supplemental categories
Post by: cdubea on April 29, 2014, 07:29:54 PM
Is there a quick and dirty means to get a list of supplemental categories from a folder of images?

Thanks

Chris

Cool beans.  Used it with the -r parameter to get a list of all my supplemental catagories.

Thanks Phil!

I'm still fighting this beast.

I'm trying to get some dot delimited supplementalcategories recognized by LightRoom as hierarchical keywords.

A kind soul on the LightRoom forum suggest running this:

exiftool -r '-xmp-dc:subject+<iptc:supplementalcategories' "D:\Pictures\Folders"

Unfortunately it tells me "The system cannot find the file specified"

Help?

Thanks

Chris

Hi Chris,

You need to us double quotes ("), not single quotes (') around arguments in Windows.
