![]() I am a septuagenarian, independent non-professional documentarian. I use this command in OSx Terminal to get a csv file with all filenames structured according to their paths, inside a folder: a) Subfolders may or may not contain 'duc' string in their name (as for now they dont but I cant be sure if it will happen or not in the future) b) All. And I hope you or others on this listserv could help. OSX Terminal - export to csv list of files inside folder. Or at least a thorough list of instructions from opening Bridge to importing the file information to exporting it. It would be great if there was a YouTube video on how to do this. I would love to be able to use Bridge to select a folder, have the files show up in Bridge, then batch export the list to a database such as MicroSoft Access or at least to Excel unless you have recommendations for better other software. ![]() The department may be able to provide some mentoring, but I may also be on my own-which I find often is the case in terms of coming up with solutions for digital archiving. I now need to provide identifying information for my use but also for the Iowa State University Special Collections Department. I have just culled and archived the best video subclips and photos from several documentary trips in the last nine months and have those files in folders. Have not used it since then so have forgotten what little I knew at the time. I am somewhat familiar with using Adobe Bridge after using it intensively last winter to add metadata to video files. Make sure you follow the Windows Install Instructions in order for CMD to be able to find exiftool.Hi Lumigraphics. ![]() This means the command line can't find exiftool, it's not in a directory covered by the PATH environmental variable. You mention getting a "exiftool is not recognized" error. Or you can use a wildcard to get all the gps tags For example,Įxiftool -csv >/path/to/out.csv -GPSLatitude -GPSLongitude You can limit the output to certain tags if you specify them in the command. This will dump all the data into the csv file. Replace with the files and/or Directories you want to process. The basic command to get csv file (see FAQ #12) There are a few other GUIs out there, though I'm not really familiar with them. I have lots of problems with it on Windows 10. It has been unsupported for a long time so you may or may not be able to get it to work. ![]() Maybe you used the Exiftool GUI found in the Exiftool GUI sub board on this forum. I am open to use the command-line option but I get an error when I try the cmd "'exiftool' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." or just never-end clicking down to see more when I open "exiftool.exe" or "exiftool (-k).exe".Įxiftool is a command line only program, it doesn't have a GUI built in. In the GUI that I downloaded recently, I could only export each images' properties into separate files where I want one single spreadsheet. Otherwise, I want to export the properties (where I can choose which attributes to export ideally) from multiples images into a csv spreadsheet format. I have not managed to find that GUI interface. I could click "copy information from previous line" and it would take the latitude or longitude from another image. I remember an GUI interface where I saw a table format with all the image files in a given folder with columns for the properties (including GPS and tags). I had used exiftool successfully a few months ago but now I seem to be getting nowhere. ![]()
