Wildcards or batch processing - how to?

[AnneA]

First: Many thanks for all the effort you put into this wonderfully useful and flexible tool!


I need to copy tags between files based on the identity of their file name.

For example this works fine:

exiftool -TagsFromFile from/filename.JPG  -IPTC:Caption-Abstract to/filename.JPG

Basically I want to batch batch process the last command, doing something like this:

exiftool -TagsFromFile from/*.JPG  -IPTC:Caption-Abstract to/*.JPG

Unfortunately this doesn't work. How can I achieve the intended behaviour?

Hi Anne,

You're welcome.

Try this:

exiftool -tagsfromfile from/%f.%e -iptc:caption-abstract -ext jpg to

exiftool -tagsfromfile from/%f.%e -iptc:caption-abstract -ext jpg to

Wonderful – that works smoothly!

Thank you VERY much for your swift support!
