Batch add exif metadata from actual name of file....

Post by ibexcentral »

Hi,

I have 100's of images with the following format:

TheKids_B_08_12_01_16_34_Home_Photo description 1.jpg
TheKids_B_08_12_02_08_00_Home_Photo description 2.jpg
TheKids_B_08_12_03_10_55_Home_Photo description 3.jpg

I want to populate an exif field in the image eg Description with the last part of the filename for example:

TheKids_B_08_12_01_16_34_Home_Photo description 1.jpg

Description = Photo description 1

I want to perform the above for all files in a folder (batch add metadata based on part of the filename)

The batch logic would be = look at the filename starting from the right, look back through the characters until find '_' take the filename from the right of the '_' and populate the description exif field.

Is this possible if so please can someone shed some light on how to do it.

Cheers
