Hello,

i have a lot of Person Tags in the Data Stuff wich shows up in Windows Explorer under Persons.
How can i batch-copy these Tags into my IPTC Keywords?

I Joe,

First, see FAQ 2 for determining the name of the tag you want to copy.  Then the syntax is:

exiftool "-keywords<SOME_TAG" FILE

where FILE is one or more file or directory names.

- Phil
...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
