Just wanted to say thanks for the great tool and support.

I have just finished converting my FileMaker database to Lightroom 5 using exiftool I had 11,000+ images and made the conversion in about a week. I did write some apple scripts to help but the heavy work was done by exiftool by taking the csv from FileMaker and updating the photo metadata so that they could be imported into Lightroom.

My only problem was the case of the path where I had to use the search and replace in numbers to fix and then run the exiftool more than once for each folder of images.

But the final outcome was great!!

Thanks

Hi Roger,

Sounds like a lot of work!  I'm glad that ExifTool made the job easier for you.
