Copy Tags to Multiple Files...

Hey all,

I thought I was doing this before, but I cannot find any evidence that I have.  I am using exiftool to extract JPG images from my Nikon RAW files, and it works great.  Now, what I need to do is copy all of the tags over from the raw file to the JPG.  How do I do this for multiple files in a directory without entering the command for each file.

For example, I have 10 files PIC_0001.NEF through PIC_0010.NEF.  I use the -JpegFromRaw option and get 10 files PIC_0001.JPG through PIC_0010.JPG.  Now, I want to do a exiftool -TagsFromFile for each of the 10 pictures.  The only way I can see right now is to enter the command for each picture I converted.  Since I shoot RAW exclusively now, that is going to take a lot of time.  Is there some way to issue the command so that all files are included, or I would even go for a batch file to do it.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Rob

Hi Rob,

This is very similar to one of the "COPYING EXAMPLES" in the
documentation:

Code:

      exiftool -tagsfromfile %d%f.CRW -r -ext JPG dir
            Recursively rewrite all "JPG" images in "dir" with information
            copied from the corresponding "CRW" images in the same directo-
            ries.
