Melting the Caption of two images in a new one...
Hello to all. Again: SUPER tool Phil - tested the standalone Windows Version and am VERY pleased - simple and qick. The problem here: In another article here I found:
exiftool '-caption-abstract<${caption-abstract} new text here' test.jpg
with that additional describtions can be added to the Caption of an image. Works perfect. But: I want to copy the Caption of a second image additional behind a first image, separated with a pipe: Step1:
exiftool -overwrite_original "-caption-abstract<${caption-abstract} | " "C:\aa"
Step2:
exiftool -tagsfromfile "C:\bb\%f.jpg" "-caption-abstract<=caption-abstract" -o "C:\MELTING" "C:\aa"
The Pipe is added. Files are created, but the Caption is not added correct. I know that Caption is not a list field, but when its possible to add other words, it should also be to copy somting in from another image spource? Thankful for any help. Greetings from pixelpicker
