+== 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
+</code>
