Is there a quick and dirty means to get a list of supplemental categories from a folder of images?

Thanks

Hi Chris,

exiftool -supplementalcategories "folder name"

- Phil
...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 ($).

Cool beans.  Used it with the -r parameter to get a list of all my supplemental catagories.

Thanks Phil!

I'm still fighting this beast.

I'm trying to get some dot delimited supplementalcategories recognized by LightRoom as hierarchical keywords.

A kind soul on the LightRoom forum suggest running this:

exiftool -r '-xmp-dc:subject+<iptc:supplementalcategories' "D:\Pictures\Folders"

Unfortunately it tells me "The system cannot find the file specified"

Help?

Thanks

Hi Chris,

You need to us double quotes ("), not single quotes (') around arguments in Windows.

LOL! That's kinda embarrassing.

Thanks again.

Oh, I sent you a little bit of appreciation on Paypal.
