I want to rename all the files in a folder and set the keywords at the same time.  I've tried

exiftool -Filename=7282013-%.nc.%e -keywords=EXIF -keywords=editor C:\test

but that just makes copies of the files and renames the copy?  What about if I also wanted to set the copyright info at the same time?

Thanks.

Hi Pedro,

Use the -overwrite_original option if you don't want the copies, and -copyright="Pedro" to add a copyright.
