Hello, I hope someone can help me with this excellent tool. I have managed to achieve most of what I want with it, but the following has me stuck.

I can add the ISO tag as a new keyword using the following:

exiftool "-ISO>keywords" . -ext JPG

But I want the output to say "ISO 50", not just "50" (for a setting of 50 of course). (BTW, I know that if I want to add multiple keywords, I need to put a + after the >, thus: ">+")

I have tried to use command line input like the below, but I have got something wrong.

exiftool "ISO -ISO>keywords" . -ext JPG

Can you help? :)

You could use
ExifTool "-keywords<ISO $iso" -ext JPG .
and that will overwrite all previous keywords and just add the new one.

Change it to
ExifTool "-keywords+<ISO $iso" -ext JPG .
To add the ISO without overwriting previous keywords.

"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype
