Transferring metadata from .fpx files to .jpg

[Budgie2]

Hi, just starting with exiftool on opensuse OS so please forgive me if I appear dumb.
I have over 1000 .fpx images which were downloaded from an old Kodak camera which I no longer have.  Meanwhile this .fpx format has become obsolete so I am working to convert to .jpg.
I have been able to convert the files using ImageMagick but the metadata has not been transferred and I believe your ExifTool is the correct tool to do this.
Please could you help me with the in and out syntax.  I started with a very simple command

Code Select Expand

exiftool -tagsfromfile *.fpx *.jpg

and this gave me errors for example

Error: Writing of FPX files is not yet supported - P00000251.fpx

I think I have the syntax wrong and would appreciate your help please.

You can't use a wild card as the source for the -TagsFromFile option.  This copying example is closer to what you want to use.  Just change the CR2 to fpx.

Very many thanks.   I have it now.  I note that the original files have been renamed as .jpg_original which is great.  I still have much reading to do but many thanks again.

Adding the -overwrite_original option will suppress the creation of backup files.  Also see the Utility options.

Hi and many thanks.  Whilst still learning I actually prefer the default of giving me the backup and shall continue with this.  No problem for me sorting out what is needed for ongoing work and backups are always handy, as a timely warning from a RAID array has reminded me this evening.
