getting metadatas in BULK

[guysoul]

Hi everyone,

Im new to this stuff and would like to know if getting of metadatas by BULK is possible using exiftool.

I have thousands of pictures and would like to get the images' metadatas.

If this is possible, can someone tell me the step by step instruction in performing this? I would really appreciate it.

Thank you so much and have a great day!

Regards,
Eduardo

Hi Eduardo,
there are many examples out there

see -> http://www.exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html

The simplest example I can provide would be (replacing DIRECTORY with the path to the main directory with your files)
ExifTool -r  DIRECTORY

That will have ExifTool read every file it can in the selected directory and all subdirectories and display it in the command line.  For thousands of files, you might want to redirect the output into a file and read through the file instead.
ExifTool -r >FileList.txt DIRECTORY
