creating mie in batch
It's easy with single file:

exiftool -tagsfromfile apple.jpg -exif:all apple.jpg.mie

Now, what I'm trying to do (for last two hours, grrr), is something like this:

exiftool -tagsfromfile apple.jpg boat.jpg tree.cr2 -exif:all %f.mie
-to get:
apple.jpg.mie
boat.jpg.mie
tree.cr2.mie

Don't need to tell you, that above exiftool line doesn't do the job (and I've tried many other combinations). And it seems so trivial... I'm on Windows (if that matter).
An the solution is?

Greetings,
Bogdan

Hi Bogdan,

There are different ways to handle this. Here is one:

exiftool -o %f.%e.mie -exif:all apple.jpg boat.jpg tree.cr2

Re: creating mie in batch
I think your problems may have been due to a bug I discovered while trying out various commands like this. The following two commands should also achieve the same effect as the above command, but due to this bug they won't create a MIE file as expected:

exiftool -tagsfromfile %f -exif:all apple.jpg.mie boat.jpg.mie tree.cr2.mie exiftool -tagsfromfile @ -exif:all -srcfile %f.%e.mie apple.jpg boat.jpg tree.cr2

This will be fixed in the next release, and exiftool 7.10 will work with all of these commands.

I apologize for any inconvenience this caused.
