Hi,

I have a lens I want to modify exif's for all the time .  I have 9 command lines to execute on each batch of images.  it would be cool if the ExifTool direct button would just accept the text file with those commands directly and run them all on all the images selected.

I assume this could be done with the Exiftool cmd version, but I like using the GUI and being able to see all my exif fields as part of the app.

Thanks for your work on this tool.

Hi David,

Please see second post in this thread: https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php/topic,3575.0.html
and GUI manual here: https://exiftool.org/gui/#b_etdirect (section Using args files).
If there are still questions left, feel free to ask.

9 command lines?  Whoa.  Are you aware that you can write/copy/delete multiple tags with a single command?

...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 ($).
