Inserting filename into the metadata using %f

[ericconn]

I'm trying to insert the filename into the metadata for JPG's with an empty RawFilename field, using the %f wildcard. I'm using the below code, to no avail:

exiftool '-RawFilename=%f' -overwrite_original "C:\Test\Image1.jpg"

I tried it with and without the single quote around the underlined part.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

The percent tokens (%f, %e, %c, etc) can't be copied to a tag.  They're for use with various file operations and format strings, such as -TagsFromFile or -w (textout) options or setting the Filename/Directory pseudo tags.

This should do what you want:

exiftool "-rawfilename<${filename;/(.*)\./ and $_=$1}" FILE
