Formatting output

[metadataddicted]

Hello everyone,
I would like to format the console output of a command like this:

Code Select Expand

exiftool.exe -overwrite_original_in_place -P -r -ext dng -XMP:XMP-crs:RawFileName<PreservedFileName .

I would like to print, for every file processed, a custom string, such as:
some spaces, the filename, [file number/total files]

Hello everyone,
I would like to format the console output of a command like this:

I would like to print, for every file processed, a custom string, such as:
some spaces, the filename, [file number/total files]

I would like to get an indented log such as:

Code Select Expand

process begin
    section 1 begin
           file 1 [1/10]
           file 2 [2/10]
           ...
           file 10 [10/10]
    section 1 end
process end

I have tried looking into

Code Select Expand

-progress and

Code Select Expand

-p options but I am not finding any way to start with. -p option seems to have what I need but when I put it in a command line where i assign some tag, nothing gets printed.

Is there any way to get something like this?
Thanks

The output formatting options all apply only when reading metadata.  There is no option to format the output if you are writing to tags.  The only options when writing are to include additional information in the output. (I can think of only -progress and -v that do this.)

Hi Phil,
ok, I can use -progress.
Thank you for your answer.
