Re: Batch write filename to iptc field ?
I was just hoping that after you were done painting you would get a chance to read some of the exiftool documentation and try a few commands yourself on the command line. Once you get a feel for it, it really isn't all that difficult. I can help you with exiftool specifics, but I really can't teach you how to use the command line.

The example exiftool command I gave ("exiftool -a -G1 -s FILE") is typed verbatim at the command line, except that you substitute "FILE" for the name of your image file. To start, it is easiest if the file and exiftool.exe are both in the same directory, and make this is your working directory (type "cd DIR", where DIR is the directory name, before typing the exiftool command).

The other exiftool options I suggested (things beginning with dashes. ie. "-overwrite_original") may be added to the exiftool command.

Try looking at some example commands from the exiftool documentation to get an idea of how this works.

Once you figure out the command syntax, it should be fairly easy to get going.
