Uwe Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Hello, I want to copy the quicktime metadata tags "Make" and "Model" from the MOV and MP4 files to the XMP sidecar file. I have a problem with the following command line of the ExifTool of the "Open with..." action. -ext mp4 -ext mov -tagsfromfile {Filename} "-xmp:make The result is: How do I have to change it to get {FilenameWithoutExt}.xmp in the quotes.

Paul Barrett Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Hi Uwe Have you also posted this on the Exiftool forum? I find that to be the quickest way to resolve syntax questions. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uwe Posted July 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Hi Paul, the Exiftool forum doesn't make sense in this case because the command is working on Windows level. The problem is the way Daminion substitutes the variable (in the quotes) AND the file extension "xmp". The file extension ".xmp" has to be in the quotes together with the file name and path.

Uwe Posted July 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Hello, I changed the command line of the Exiftool of the "Open with..." action to -tagsfromfile {Filename} "-quicktime:make>xmp:make" "-quicktime:model>xmp:model" {FilenameWithoutExt}.xmp -overwrite_original Even if the the the Daminion generates: "Filename".xmp and not "Filename.xmp" the Exiftool ignores it and works Thanks Murat for your help.
