Copying metadata from raw sidecar files into like named jpg files

[cdubea]

Hi all,

I use Capture One for my post processing, which includes applying ratings, colors, etc.

Typically I make jpg/raw pairs with my camera.

For whatever reason, Capture One chooses to write jpg metadata into the sidecar files vice into the file itself.

Currently I use John Beardsworth's Syncomatic in LightRoom to write the metadata from the sidecars into the jpg's.

I'm trying to wean myself from LR, so is there a way to write the metadata in the sidecar into the jpg with Exiftool?

Thank you for all your assistance

See Metadata Sidecar Files example #15.  You can use the -ext (-extension) option to limit the file types to process
-ext jpg -ext NEF -ext CR2

or use it to process all files except for XMP, because you don't really want to waste time copying the XMP files back onto themselves
--ext XMP
