possible to batch write different info to different files?

I believe this is a feature request, unless I've missed something in the documentation.

Right now I have to run exiftool once for every file I want to write tags for since the GPS tags I'm writing are different for each file.  Is is possible to do this with one execution of exiftool instead?  The overhead associated with one call is rather substantial (at least on Windows, but I think the same was true when I used it on Linux).

right now:

exiftool -GPSAltitude=120 one.jpg

exiftool -GPSAltitude=173 two.jpg

boy it sure would be nice if this did the same thing:

exiftool -GPSAltitude=120 one.jpg -GPSAltitude=120 two.jpg

Thanks,

Tim Kostka

Hi Tim,

Code:

exiftool -GPSAltitude=120 one.jpg -execute -GPSAltitude=173 two.jpg

Dear Phil,

You're the man.  Many thanks for such a wonderful tool.  I now see -execute is documented in a separate section.
