Is is possible to use Exiftool to see all images and metatags removed beneath one directory (including all sub-directorates), to veify action was taken successfully without opening up with image (Get info) on each image in OS X ?

eg. exiftool /folder path -r
so it would dive into all sub-directories, and list all files so user can see metatags.

I don't understand the "removed" bit of the question but
exiftool -datetimeoriginal -r -ext jpg 2016
will recurse through the directories and list the filenames and the datetimeoriginal tag in .jpg files in the 2016 directory.

exiftool -datetimeoriginal -r -ext jpg 2016 > temp.txt

will put the output in a file called temp.txt.

ok thx.. i think that may be what i want...

I've removed meta-tags from a bunch of images in different directories, but all in one main dir, and i wish to verify all meta tags have been wiped using Exiftool.

eg Make, and Model of camera to take such images etc... but would like Exif tool to list *all* images so i can see if everyting is fine without having to open up each image properties individually.
