Write datetimeoriginal to IPTC JPG keywords

[Tribo0n]

How can i write the datetimeoriginal modeified to the iptc JPG keywords field?
For example datetimeoriginal = 2003:10:31 15:44:19
2003 should be added to keywords and 311003 should be added also
how can i do this?

Thanks a lot

Try this:

exiftool -addtagsfromfile @ "-keywords<${datetimeoriginal;s/:.*//}" "-keywords<${datetimeoriginal;s/^\d\d(\d\d):(\d\d):(\d\d).*/$3$2$1/}" DIR

Use +< instead of < if you want to add to existing keywords.

Thanks for help. I use fotostation and the comand line is limited so the script is cut at the end

Code: [Select]

-overwrite_original -addtagsfromfile @ "-keywords+<${datetimeoriginal;s/:.*//}" "-keywords+<${datetimeoriginal;s/^\d\d(\d\d):(\d\d):(\d\d).*/$3$2$1/}"is cutted to

Code: [Select]

-overwrite_original -addtagsfromfile @ "-keywords+<${datetimeoriginal;s/:.*//}" "-keywords+<${datetimeoriginal;s/^\d\d(\d\d):(\Is there a way to abbreviate the script?

[Phil Harvey]

Sure.

Make a text file containing this:

Code: [Select]

-overwrite_original
-addtagsfromfile
@
-keywords+<${datetimeoriginal;s/:.*//}
-keywords+<${datetimeoriginal;s/^\d\d(\d\d):(\d\d):(\d\d).*/$3$2$1/}
and use this fotostation command:

-@ /path/to/your/file.txt

Sorry, i saw a mistake now.
If i change the date of the picture in the fotostation and then run the script again, it just add the last value, not the correct picture taken date.
Whats wrong?

Thanks

Is Fotostation changing DateTimeOriginal?  The command I gave should use the value shown with this:

exiftool -datetimeoriginal FILE
