Re: Batch write filename to iptc field ?
First, you need to figure out what tags to write. Take one of the images you wrote using BreezeBrowser and run "exiftool -a -G1 -s FILE". Take note of the tags you want to write.

Then you need to figure out what command you want to use to write this. Something like this maybe:

exiftool "-iptc:caption-abstract<filename" "-comment<filename" FILE

Note that FILE may be a directory or file name. Also, you may want to add the -overwrite_original option to prevent the original images from being backed up.

Finally, you should set up a shortcut in windows which will run exiftool.exe with all your command-line options except the FILE names. Then you can drag and drop files and folders onto this shortcut to do the processing for you.
