Re: Batch write filename to iptc field ?
We're talking about one single command line to do what you want. I think the problem is that you don't know what a command line is. The ggod news is that we can do this without a command line if necessary. First, try renaming "exiftool(-k).exe" to "exiftool(-k -s -g1).exe". Then drop one of your breezebrowser images onto the newly renamed exiftool. Now scroll up if necessary in the window that appears to see the -- IPTC -- section, and take note of the label (tag name) beside the filename information. Then, say, assuming the tag name was "caption-abstract", right-click on exiftool and change the properties to add "-caption-abstract<filename" to the command (separated by a space after the .exe). Now when you drop a file on exiftool, it will write the filename into the caption instead of dumping all the imformation.
