Major appreciation to all of you who have worked this out, but as one who remembers all too well command prompt entries from pre-windows days my head is spinning from all of this
![]() I'd love to have this lens info transferred to the metadata, but once this is all done to existing files how does this effect new entries? Maybe I'm missing something? Do you have to run this batch file again every time you add new pics? It seems that if this is just moving information from one line of the metadata file to another why can't Adobe to just add a line of code to their program or is it more complicated than that? thanks and cheers, Howie |

Yes. However, one can set-up a workflow to do this automatically. In my case, i use "downloader pro" software to download my images from a card reader and the same tool is calling the appropriate bat file to handle lens info tags. So, i don't need to do anything anymore :)
It isn't complicated, and in fact many software is recognizing minolta (sony) lens info quite well. It is only that adobe didn't find this to be worth working on :( |

so it is working... BUT i cannot get it to batch process without me pressing a key between each file. and i do have the -r tag in my .bat file. i even tried moving it around like some of the other examples posted here. it will not work.
i know others complained about this and the workaround for them was to use downloader pro, but i was hoping not to go that route. any suggestions ? |

@Kiklop: I am willing to give Downloader Pro a shot. Can you please provide a copy of the ExifTool batch file that you use?
Thanks... Brian |

I think that this only happens if you target a group of files with your batch file. Try targeting the folder containing your files and see what happens. |

Here is the content of the bat file i use (located in the "send to" folder @echo off :begin if _%1_==__ goto end echo Processing %1... PATH TO YOUR EXIF FOLDER\exiftool.pl -k -TagsFromFile %%d%%f.arw "-lensId>lens" -ext XMP -overwrite_original %1 -r shift goto begin end Save this code with a bat extension And a DP command line looks like PATH TO YOUR BAT FILE\SendTo\ExifTool_ARW.bat %d It is important to have xmp files ready, and those are made by downloader pro as well (you need to enable the option to add XMP files in DP Edited by Kiklop - 16 January 2009 at 11:02 |

For me, this was not working. I don't know what I did wrong. If anyone experience similar problems (nothing happens), I had luck with this:
I had XMP files ready (created by GeoSetter) |

I'm heard that 2.3RC(s) of LightRoom supported the lens name of Pentax.
Why is only A-Mount left? The program exififd.exe written by me has same function as exiftool. It can insert APP section to JPG. Additionaly, Any Minolta/Sony MakerNote not broken. It handled .xmp include sub directories. And more inteligent LensID to name convert, It use Focal Length, Max Apature, APS-C or 135 Lens. Not perfect, but useful. The exif tool is great, but exififd is dedicated to file format of A-Mount SLRs. And exififd is open source. You can compile it by free VC++ 2005 or 2008. Bad news:It's also commandline program.. But Almost all function use with only Drag and drop operation. No need typing the complicate command line. Are you interested in this? ![]() |

I'm interested too, but can this program handle also the raw-files or just jpegs? (sorry for this maybe stupid question, but I'm not really familiar with these programs and formats) |
