All your precious metadata is stored in the image or XMP sidecar file and hence accessible in other software. But IMatch is a great sticker for standards and does not lock you in. One-man software and what if that person retire/sick/the worse case pass away, the end of the software?.Where can I ask you questions in the future when DPreview closes? ACDsee seems fine but iMatch seems to fit better my type of working. I tried LR and Capture one but do not like that I can't keep my folder structure. If you were really feeling hard as nails you could add -overwrite_original to the exiftool command and it would not keep original copies of all the files you have probably just ruined.I just installed iMatch and have around 3TB of pics. The Newlines probably won't work in Windoze, don't know, don't care, Google probably knows. That command will write into the User Comments field ( which I can see in Lightroom ) something like : You could use exiftool to write tag values to data fields that ARE displayed by Lightroom:Įxiftool '- UserComment < Focus mode : $ The MakerNotes group is a real pickle, a can of worms, a nightmare realm that no sane person would ever enter - I spend a lot of time there, I am writing a frontend Mac app for Exfitool for normal human folks - if I survive, i will let you know the details. There are so many EXIF, and IPTC tags, Lightroom ain't not never gonna be able to display them all. Sorry mate but if you think typing exiftool -afmode is not easy then you are going to be dissapointed. The easiest way to found out what tag names are lurking in your files is to just call exiftool with a filename, I like to use exiftool -G -t (filename) because it gives the Group names and outputs in tabbed format so I can work with the results. ( the dot will process all files in the current folder ) Just call exiftool with a list of the EXIF tags you want to display, let's say I wanted file name, raw image sizes, shadow tone, focus mode, and autofocus mode then this command:Įxiftool -filename -rawimagewidth -rawimageheight -shadowtone -focusmode -Afmode. Exiftool can be a bit scarey, it is amazingly powerful, but a really simple command will do what you want. I don't know much about how Lightroom deals with EXIF data but I would bet 27p that it does not display Maker Notes data.
