The third decision is how to pass input and you should choose "as arguments". The second decision is what action to add. It should be an Application, because this is what accepts items dropped onto it. The first decision to make in Automator is what kind of workflow to make. I am almost certain LQ/%f.Basically, you put the command-line into an Automator workflow, and the workflow accepts drag-n-drops, runs the command, etc. I have managed to figure out the command which almost does what I want for step 1:Įxiftool -r -tagsFromFile LQ/%f.jpg -datetimeoriginal HQĪlas, although this does seem to update the files in the target (HQ) folder recursively, it doesn't seek through the source (LQ) recursively and I can only get it to source metadata from a single folder without subfolders. Discard all photos in LQ which already exist in HQ - probably using an external program like Picasa for ease of comparison. Recursively batch transfer the DateTimeOriginal tag from LQ to HQ, using the -tagsFromFile option in ExifTool.Ģ. My goal: to create only one set, which would contain the highest available quality of each photo, AND correct metadata. On the flipside, all photos in LQ have the correct DateTimeOriginal metadata. The second set, LQ, is a larger set which contains many, if not all of the photos from HQ (they share the same filename) - in lower quality. The first one, HQ, contains a smaller set of high quality pictures, and unfortunately some of them have incorrect DateTimeOriginal fields. Both have different folder structures inside. I have seeked out this program to solve a specific problem with my photo collection, and I have almost nailed it down. Hello! First of all, it's fantastic to know that there is a community based around ExifTool that volunteers to offer advice in their spare time.
