Hello everyone, for starters, I want to say a big thank you to Phil (a very useful app)


i have file, that contains list of image and some tags that i want update. my program reads file and calls exiftool for each line. file may contain a thousand lines, while this process my core i7 become hot) and it takes a lot of time. so my question is haw can optimize this process? maybe i don't know some tricks?)

ps sorry for my english

You can speed things up a lot by using a -@ argfile with the -stay_open option.

...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 ($).
