Title: From Docx table to meta in image?
Post by: roganett on March 19, 2018, 02:43:24 PM
I recieved a gallery from a client with 16.000 pictures. And he has *docx file(s) with a table inside that he grabbed the meta from before. (Not sure how)
The table contains 3 coloums. First is a number that refers to the filename from pictures (exept jpg extension)- second is the title, and third is the description.

He had this on a webpage before as a gallery, and the webpage grabbed the meta from these *docx documents. (Not sure how)

I now want to make a new gallery for him in wordpress or similar. Is there a way I can do that, or a way exiftools can help me write this meta directly to the images?

Not so great at commandline so I might need detailed instructions.

Thanks in advance

I don't know if ExifTool will be able to do what you want, but I can tell you more if you post a small docx file with an example of what you want to extract.

It might be easier to copy / paste the table to the spreadsheet and then save that as a CSV file.  Then, possibly with some modifications, exiftool could then be used to read the CSV file.

Good point.  This would be much easier if there is only a single docx file.  I was heading off in the wrong direction.
