I'm not sure if this is something on my end (I think it is, I think IT dept changed permissions or something) but now I can't use a BAT file to add keywords to lots of files to get rid of duplicates. The first line of code just repeats in the prompt screen and no keywords are actually added. Any thoughts?

...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 ($).

I finally figured this out. I think the issue is with Windows 7. Somehow the OS was confusing past versions of a BAT file, and wouldn't work if I edited an existing file and didn't create a new one. I just have to create a new file each time.
