Import custom tags with cvs

[Egon]

Hello,

 

I need a way to import custom tags with cvs.

Structure csv file:

 

Item Id;xxx

18;12,13,14

 

I tested File->Import->CSV-File. It not works.

 

Does someone have a better idea?

Hi Egon,

 

I played little with custom tags when I tested Uwe's instructions. Check if that can give you any pointers.

 

Have you defined the custom tag in the catalog where you are importing the tags?

Hello,

 

I have defined custom tags.

I use 5.5 (1726).

Now I have installed ExifTools and checked something.

I have one custom tag (text) defined with "Tag has a limited number of values that can be assigned to multiple files" and now I need this tag as "Multiple tag values can be assigned to the same file".

My plan was: - Write the tags to a csv file

- Edit the file

- Delete the "false" custom tag

- Create the custom tag in the right way

- Read the csv file and update by that the pictures and catalog.

Now the questions to ExifTools:

- I have written the tags to a csv file, but I don't no, how can I include the tag "Element ID".

- What do I have to do to read this file after editing, delete and create custom tag.
