Thumbnail including complete EXIF data

[Franksen]

Is there a possibility to extract a thumbnail image including all EXIF data from original image ?

Thanks

Hi Frank,

Try this:

1) exiftool -thumbnailimage -b image.jpg > thumb.jpg

2) exiftool -tagsfromfile image.jpg -all:all thumb.jpg

How could I use this for extracting all images in a folder (incl. EXIF) ?

something like:
"exiftool -thumbnailimage -b -w _thumb.jpg DIR"

and then how to bring Exif tags inside all Thumbnails ?

For an entire directory:

1) exiftool -thumbnailimage -b -w _thumb.jpg DIR

2) exiftool -tagsfromfile %d%-.6f.%e -all:all DIR/*_thumb.jpg

Next you're going to tell me you want to do this recursively for subdirectories...

Edit: Forgot a minus sign in the %f format specifier to remove the characters from the end of the file name instead of the beginning.

Ahh,

Thank you very much.
Recursive is not needed (at the moment)

Best regards
Frank
