[solved] Date in Copyright

[deheme]

Hello,
Many thanks for exiftools and all the documentation around it.

May be I'm completely blind but I cannot find the way to inject the created date of a jpeg into the copyright text.
I tried :
exiftool.exe %1  -IPTC:CopyrightNotice="${DateTimeOriginal}"  -k
exiftool.exe %1  -IPTC:CopyrightNotice="$DateTimeOriginal"  -k
exiftool.exe %1  -d %Y -IPTC:CopyrightNotice="$DateTimeOriginal"  -k

None of these works as I would like (to insert the create date - only the year by the way).
This command is in a .bat file running under windows 10.
Any hint?

Thanks
DéHème
Sorry for my FrenGlish

Hi DéHème,

This is an easy mistake to make.  Use "<" instead of "=" when copying values from other tags.

exiftool.exe %1 -d %Y "-IPTC:CopyrightNotice<$DateTimeOriginal" -k

(this is common mistake number 5.3 btw)

Thank you Phil for such a quick answer.

exiftool.exe %1 "-IPTC:CopyrightNotice<$DateTimeOriginal" -k
works perfect, but when I try to extract only the year :
exiftool.exe %1 -d %Y "-IPTC:CopyrightNotice<$DateTimeOriginal" -k
It doesn't work.

You need to double percent signs in a batch file.

Try
exiftool.exe %1 -d %%Y "-IPTC:CopyrightNotice<$DateTimeOriginal" -k

I did try the double % but the cmd window closes despite the -k (I cannot see what happens) and the field is not modified.
