Bridge Keywords to Excel Spreadsheet

Hi all,

I am an ecologist so very new to this type of stuff so I apologize in advance for my lack of understanding. I am using the config file attached above but I keep receiving this error message (see attached image).  I have tried to adjust the data and cannot seem to get it right. Any help would be really appreciated!!

Are the files you want to use on G:?  Because CD G: isn't enough to get you to that drive.  You can try CD /D G:  or just type G:.  The first one you can use the full path including subdirectories if you want, the second will just change to that drive.

Then, to use the config file, you need to input the full path to the file.  If it is on the top level of G:, then you almost had it right with the third attempt, you just need to remove the slash after config.

Also, if you can locate the file in Windows, depending upon your version of Windows, you can copy the path to the clipboard by holding down the shift button, right clicking on the file, and then selecting "Copy as path".  You can then paste it into the command line.  Dragging the file onto the command line may also paste the filename.

Thank you!

I was able to get one step closer!

Yes, all my files are located on the G drive. I was able to direct to the G drive thanks to your help but I am receiving an error message that the file with my images cannot be found. I have attached an image of the command window and my folder that I am directing to. 

Within this parent folder are tons of subfolders. I used the -r as suggested above to have the command read all parent and subfolders. Is this correct?

Thank you so much for your help.

Your directory has spaces in it, but you're not including those spaces in your path name.  In order for windows to realize that the path has spaces in it, you enclose it in double quotes:
"Namunyak CT Images June to Sep 2016 Unclassified"

Also, you can copy the full path to the clipboard with the SHIFT+Right Click trick I mentioned earlier.  That would allow you to paste the full path properly without having to worry about typos.

Also, remember, for this particular config file to work, you have to edit the config file to include a list of all the keywords you're looking for as mentioned in this post.  This config was created for a very particular situation and may not be applicable to your use.

Thank you!

I am actually using the same data set Brie (the above user) was using. She classified camera trap images for one conservation site and I went through and classified images for the second conservation site. I am trying to use her protocol, however for a newbie and someone who is completely lost I was having a bit of a hard time with it then I found her thread on this site.

I am one step closer but of course one more, hopefully the last question....

That seemed to do the trick but now I am getting another error message....sorry I do apologize for really not knowing at all what I am doing. I really appreciate all of your help.

Nevermind then

Error: File format error means that the image is probably corrupt.  They don't look like any file format that exiftool understands.  Odds are that you won't be able to view those images.
