Hello
I use Exiftool with Exiftoolgui because Exiftoolgui is the only gui that allows me to edit up to 420 images at once with one mouse click.
Usually it is not possible to process more than around 420 images with a single click but sometimes it is reduced to between 200 to 250. I dont know it this is linked with exiftool or exiftoolgui and the versions of exifttol.
At your disposal
Sincerely,
Thibaud

Hi Thibaud,

I suspect you are reaching the Windows command-line length limitation.  You should be able to process any number of files at the same time.  If they are all in one folder, you should be able to select the folder itself to process all contained files.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
