Title: Geo-Tagging using Exif-Tool and Command Processor
Post by: HeinzFischer on March 20, 2016, 12:04:43 PM
Hello all,

I'am trying to tag my pictures with GPS-data using Exiftool.

Drive C: Installation of iMatch within ExifTool
Drive E: Saving  my pictures in E:\Bilder\Bildbearbeitung\7_GeoTagging (within Pictures and track.gpx)

Here comes what i tried: 
1) exiftool -geotag=track.gpx     \Bilder\Bildbearbeitung\7_GeoTagging
2) exiftool -geotag=track.gpx   E:\Bilder\Bildbearbeitung\7_GeoTagging
3) exiftool -geotag=track.gpx  "E:\Bilder\Bildbearbeitung\7_GeoTagging"

But the output-window shows someting like this:

File not found: exiftool -geotag track.gpx  E:/Bilder/Bildbearbeitung/7_GeoTagging

Has anyone an idea what to do?
Any help would be appreciated.

Heinz

This sounds like you try to use exiftool from the command line, right?
Have you installed exiftool and CD'd into the folder containing the executable?
Or do you try to use the exiftool.exe included in IMatch? You will have to set your current folder to the IMatch program files folder using cd. Or use the full path to reference exiftool.exe

Hello Mario,

thank you for your quick reply.

1) What do you mean when you say CD'd?
2) I use ExifTool and ExifToolGUI as standalone too. But in an own folder away from iMatch.
3) I want to tag with ExifTool shipped with iMatch on C:\Program Files (x86)\photools.com\IMatch5\
    I try to execute Command Processor now using C:\Program Files (x86)\photools.com\IMatch5\exiftool -geotag=track.gpx  E:\Bilder\Bildbearbeitung\7_GeoTagging
    The File track.gpx resides in the folder 7_GeoTagging on Drive E:,  too.
    But the same result - I did not use cd.
    For more information please see attached file.

With CD I meant to use the CD command to make the folder containing exiftool.exe the current folder.

Please understand that I cannot provide support for ExifTool. I have too much to do anyway.
I suggest you ask ExifTool questions in the ExifTool forum. Also check the ExifTool FAQ.

Hello Heinz,

I think, that your Example works an a Windows commandline. So maybe you like to try my example from the screenshot. You have to select one picture which is in the correct folder before you open the command processor, so that the variable for the Path has a correct value.
But be careful, because I didn't test it!

!! I did an update of the screenshot !!
