Defining Output Directory Help

Hi there

What is the correct syntax to use if I wish to put all the geotagged images in a different folder on my D drive?

This is my current syntax:

exiftool -csv="E:\Sep 24\Sep 24 C-1\Output\WGS84.csv" .

To move all photos with GPS coordinates from directory SRCDIR to directory DSTDIR:

exiftool -if "$gpslatitude" -directory="DSTDIR" SRCDIR

Phil's command is the one to use if you are just looking to move any GPS tagged files to another directory, but your use of the -csv option as an example makes me wonder if you want something more complicated, as the -csv option usually isn't used when moving files.

Just to verify, you just want to move the files and not something like you want to embed data from a CSV file and move any of the files that were edited only with GPS coordinates.

I am geotagging a directory of 4000 images using the geotags contained in the csv file. Both exiftool and the csv file are in the same folder as the images. I would rather have them geotagged and moved to a new directory, rather than delete all of the .original files after completion.

rather than delete all of the .original files after completion.

You can add the -overwrite_original option to suppress the creation of backup files.
