Find empty tag not working

[Birdman]

Hello,

I am using the following IF command for Windows to search for an empty tag in order to only fill in those files:

Code Select Expand

exiftool -if "$artist eq '' and $FilmMode eq 'F0/Standard (Provia)'" "-artist=My Name | Provia" -overwrite_original *.RAFUnfortunately the

Code Select Expand

$artist eq '' is ignored and all files with the correct FilmMode are changed, not just those with the empty artist.

Hi Martin,

Try this:

exiftool -if "not $artist and $FilmMode eq 'F0/Standard (Provia)'" "-artist=My Name | Provia" -overwrite_original *.RAF

This work for files where Artist is either missing, or set to "" (null string), or set to "0" (zero).

No, same behaviour. It chnages all files instead of only the empty ones.

Hi Martin,

Try this:

exiftool -if "not $artist and $FilmMode eq 'F0/Standard (Provia)'" "-artist=My Name | Provia" -overwrite_original *.RAF

Now it worked. I hate Fujifilm raw-files, they behave totally odd. When writing something with the normal command into the tag "artist" the information is stored in the tag IFD0:artist instead, the tag artist as will be shown in exiftool stays empty. The command

Code Select Expand

not $IFD0:artist now worked. Thanks!
