Hi Eddie,
You don't need a batch file to do this. Since there are so many tags,
it is probably easiest to put them in a text file (FILE.TXT). Then use
the command:
exiftool -@ FILE.TXT -r -overwrite_original -P DIR
Here I have used -overwrite_original, so make sure you have
backed up all your images first. The command will apply all arguments
from FILE.TXT to all images in directory DIR and its subdirectories.
All you have to do then is to create FILE.TXT containing lines like this
-author=Phil Harvey
-Copyright=2007
-anotherTag=something else
This will work if you want to use the same tags for all files. Otherwise
it gets a bit more complicated but can be done.
To extract all the tags into a database, use:
exiftool -filename -@ FILE2.TXT -r -T DIR >out.txt
Where this time FILE2.TXT contains lines like this:
-author
-Copyright
-anotherTag
This will create an output text file called "out.txt" which is
a tab-delimted text file that you should be able to import
into any database.
Read the exiftool application documentation for more information
about the options I have used here.
- Phil
