Export multiple .gpx files from multiple folders

[Martla]

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to export multiple .gpx files from multiple folders in one go?
I have over 100 folders with  different image sets and it is unimaginable to run the process one by one.

Thanks,
Erekle

Hi Erekle,

ExifTool can almost do what you want with this command:

exiftool -p test.fmt -W+ %dout.gpx -r DIR

and this "test.fmt" file:

Code Select Expand

#[SECT]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
#[SECT]<gpx version="1.0"
#[SECT] creator="ExifTool $ExifToolVersion"
#[SECT] xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
#[SECT] xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0"
#[SECT] xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0/gpx.xsd">
#[SECT]<trk>
#[SECT]<number>1</number>
#[SECT]<trkseg>
#[IF]  $gpslatitude $gpslongitude
#[BODY]<trkpt lat="$gpslatitude#" lon="$gpslongitude#">
#[BODY]  <ele>$gpsaltitude#</ele>
#[BODY]  <time>${gpsdatetime#;DateFmt("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ")}</time>
#[BODY]</trkpt>

The only problem is that the output GPX files won't be properly terminated, and you'll have to manually add these lines to each one to make a valid GPX file:

Code Select Expand

</trkseg>
</trk>
</gpx>

I haven't figured out how to do this automatically with ExifTool.
