To copy a file instead of modifying the original, you
use the -o option to specify a different output
directory. In your case it is a bit trickier since you are also
specifying a different directory by writing the Directory tag,
but this will still work as the Directory tag takes precedence
over the -o option. ie)
exiftool -o dummy "-directory<D:/photos/originals/$model/$serialnumber/$createdate" -d %Y/%Y%M/%Y%
+M%D ...
I think this should work, but having said that I don't think you
want to do it because the only way to avoid accessing the
memory card multiple times for each file is to first copy all
of the files to a temporary directory on your hard disk.
Then the trick is to append to your txt file the tags from only
the copied photos. This would be best done by writing a Perl
script to do exactly what you want since exiftool is not set up
to do this. In theory it could be done with a bit of fancy
shell scripting, but I wouldn't know how to do this in Windows.
The alternative is to do something like this:
1) copy memory card to a temporary directory ("TMP")
2) Create a batch file that will append to your .txt files ("FILE.txt", one per directory):
exiftool TMP -p "exiftool -T -@ MYTAGS.args $directory/$filename >> D:\photos\original\$model\$ser
+ialnumber\$createdate\FILE.txt" -d %Y/%Y%M/%Y%M%D" > OUT.bat
(I'm not sure about whether or not "\" needs to be escaped in a Windows shell)
3) Run the batch file:
OUT
You could also write a MOVE command to the batch file to avoid the next step,
or run exiftool again, like this:
exiftool TMP "-directory<D:/photos/original/$model/$serialnumber/$createdate" -d %Y/%Y%M/%Y%M%D"
I know this is confusing stuff, but I hope this helps.
