796 - copy and paste tags

[Uwe]

Hello,

 

I've copied the tags from a DNG to a JPG item (ALT-Shift-C/ALT-Shift-V). In the pop-up window I can define which tags should be copied. There are only some tags to select. The result is: a lot of Exif data are not in the JPG file.

 

See the screenshot of DNG and JPG properties.

 

Regards, Uwe

Copy/Paste tags are for copying editable tags only, which are mainly belonged to the Description section in the Properties panel. To move technical/image/camera related tags please use a low-level metadata handling tools like ExifTool. For example:

 

Copy all tags from a.cr2 to a.jpg

1. exiftool −overwrite_original_in_place -TagsFromFile a.cr2 a.jpg

 

Copy all GPS info from SOURCE.DNG to DEST.JPG

2. exiftool −overwrite_original_in_place -TagsFromFile SOURCE.DNG -gps:all DEST.JPG

 

After that you need to invoke "Item > Read Tags from File" command for the updated image(s)

Hello Murat,

 

thank you for the answer. I went this way to try to close the gap in the export function of Daminion (lost metadata https://daminion.net/user-forum/index.php?/topic/1132-796-lost-metadata-in-exported-files/)

I'll try to find a way to move the tags from *.dng to *.jpg as mass activity.

ExifTool allows you to specify a hole folder instead of the separate files. You can even create a .bat file that will contains a few lines of a script with ExifTool. And then drag the selected folders/images to this .bat file. More info can be found on the ExifTool home page.
