writing the same comment into a lot of files

[MunichFan]

Hello,

I am a newbie, and so is my question:

I would like to write the same comment into let's say 100 different files with very different filenames, all in one directory, like:
- path1\file1
- path1\file2
- path1\file3
- path1\file4
- path1\file5
and so on, but that is only part of the whole directory.

I assume, the easiest way is to doing it with an argfile, plus I would like to use the tag -overwrite_original

How can I do it?

Thank you very much in advance for helping

like this:

exiftool -@ ARGFILE -overwrite_original -comment="some comment"

where ARGFILE is the name of a file containing the file names, one per line.
