| + | To also process subdirectories, add the ''-r'' (or ''-recurse'') option | ||
| + | |||
| + | To only process files with a .jpg extension, use ''-ext jpg'' (case insensitive) | ||
| + | |||
| + | Example to rename all ".DNG" files in the current directory and it's subdirectories (without moving them): | ||

| + | == Copy JPEG Comment to Exif UserComment | ||
| + | |||
| + | For all .jpg files in current directory: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code bash> | ||
| + | for f in *.jpg; do exiftool "-EXIF:UserComment<FILE:Comment" "$f"; done | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Read specific tag | ||
| + | |||
| + | Use ''-Tagname'' to read just a specific tag. Add ''-b'' (''-binary'') option to not print the tag name. But then, there is no linefeed either! This example prints the "Title" and the "Filename", separated by a Tab and it uses ''echo'' and subshells so that a linefeed gets printed (there must be a better way, but I don't know it yet). | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code bash> | ||
| + | for f in *; do echo -e $(exiftool -Title -b "$f" 2>/dev/null)"\t"$(exiftool -Filename -b "$f" 2>/dev/null); done | ||
