Batch export EXIF data
« on: July 06, 2010, 06:23:16 AM »
Does anyone know a way of exporting the EXIF data of a selection of images to a text file in PM? With the fabulous Variables facility in PM it seems tantalisingly close but I can't see a way of doing it.

John,

Does anyone know a way of exporting the EXIF data of a selection of images to a text file in PM? With the fabulous Variables facility in PM it seems tantalisingly close but I can't see a way of doing it.

Use the Export command on the File menu.  Select the 'Text' template.  Enter your desired variables in the order you wish to see them output.  If you're trying to make a tab-separated file (for importing into Excel) then use the {tab} variable between fields and the {nl} variable at the end of the line.

HTH,

-Kirk
