Exporting separate files to other directory

[Lin]

Hello, I'm struggling trying to make exiftool export separate .txt files to another directory (not where the pictures are). Is this even possible? I mean, using a command like this "exiftool -w txt" etcetera. I hope someone can help!

Take a look at the -o option.  You would add -o textdirectory for example to put the output files in "textdirectory".

Edit: Ooops, nevermind

Hi Linda,

Actually, the -o is for output image files.  You use -w, but like this:

exiftool -w "some directory/%f.txt" ...

The -w option is very powerful.  Read the application documentation for complete details.
