ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Re: Copying or applying all metadata form one image to another

« on: 2024-04-18 12:02:48 »

Hi Ernst,
Many thanks, I will have try at (may be y issue was using @ instead of %f !).
(i did workaround command line error before your post using an Excel macro to generate a .bat command containing
one exiftool call per file... for sure more complex than what to suggested  )
Thanks again.
Best regards
Bernie

@Pie.Photo

Hi,
I tested something like this:
exiftool -tagsfromfile @ "-all:all>all:all" "Copy of "%f.jpg

to try reapplying all metadata from original file to their copies in the same folder.
But this don't works (I initially suspected issue with spaces in filename but
changing target files to Copy_of_ don't change behavior.

I did try many alternatives but finally always got: ("Win10>CMD" in non admin mode)
Warning: Error opening file - %dCopie_de_%f.%e
Error: File not found - %dCopie_de_%f.%e
    0 image files updated
    1 files weren't updated due to errors
    0 output files created

(this one when using following target:
%d"Copie_de_"%f.%e

Any quick hint? (may be moving to exiftool forum!)

@Daan
I had a try at xnview MP but don't found easy way to reapply Metadata of a lot of images to
their respectives copy.
(may be I have issues because I'm not using X64... and therefore XNview (32bits version) is
much older than in x64).

Have a nice day at your respective side.
Regards
Bernie

ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Copying or applying all metadata form one image to another

« on: 2024-04-08 02:51:36 »

Hi,
I'm sometime using other tools to do change to an image (let's say perspective transformation
on photographied documents).
Some transformations lead to all metadata being deleted 
I'm therfeore looking for a way to copy all metadata from one file (a backup copy of the file)
to the changed image (or to reapply existing Thumbs gatherred metadata to the
file after being edited).
Is that possible?

Regards,
Bernard

ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Adding Metadata to image

« on: 2024-04-04 05:19:11 »

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to embbed (visible) some metadata content onto selected Images.
This should be more of less similar to waterwarking but using user selected Image Metadata.
By example, you may want to add original date/time to image like such parameter
available in digital camera.
Is that possible? using batch?
Thanks

ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Re: How to query files based on the Date Taken

« on: 2022-06-10 13:33:09 »

Hi,

Many Thanks!
I finally managed searching files using following syntax:
( tn.[taken_time_iso] >  '2022-05-07 00:00:00') AND ( tn.[taken_time_iso] <  '2022-05-08 00:00:00')

ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / How to query files based on the Date Taken

« on: 2022-06-04 05:05:02 »

Hi,

Searching (quering) feature is great.

Let consider I see following in My Metadata pane
Info > Date Taken : display 31/05/2022 13:59:50.825

How could I search all files from that same 'Date Taken' date : 31/05/2022 ?

I did try various combinaison like:
 tn.[taken_time_iso] like '2022:%:% %:%:%'
or
 tn.[taken_time_iso] = '31/05/2022 13:59:50.825'
in query Advanced pane but none give me results!

Thanks in advance
Regards
Bernie

ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Re: Batch SET Original Date/Time

« on: 2021-03-05 03:33:12 »

Hi,
For those who may interested, I managed doing a mass fix on files.

After setting Camera>Date/Time using MetaData editor (Set if Blank / Original Date/Time / \i:File date;)

I used RSP (Replace Studio Pro) tool from Funduc.com to achieve a Search and Replace in png files using following regular expression:
Search string: exif:DateTimeOriginal="??/??/????T*"
Replace by string : exif:DateTimeOriginal="%5%6%7%8-%3%4-%1%2T%9"

Afterward I simply selected again using ThumbsPlus and invoked a set to Exif date/time.

Hope this may help as this let clearly understand that stored date/time matter.

BTW: I searched a way to achieve similar using Python but fail to found  interesting
base sample script to manipulate  MetaData.

regards

ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Re: Batch SET Original Date/Time

Hi,

Thanks,

Regarding your question:

That's strange. Are you sure that it is setting the time stamp to the Metadata Date and not simply to the current system time? (which of course would also be wrong, but might have a different cause)

Yes, I selected "Set to XMP/EXIF date/time created" in "Modify File Info"

Regarding:

Does this also happen when you work with JPG files instead of PNG?

Not tested at time of posting because I started first doing this with old screenshots all are in png!

I make a test which gave interesting results:
When I save as jpg an existing png (with Camera>Original = 2020/06/15T10:46:39Z) the resulting jpg didn't retain that Metadata and prevent me doing a test.

I did manually add camera>Original Date/Time to that jpg file. Data was grabbed (Copy/paste) from above (2020/06/15T10:46:39Z) and I noticed that this not worked as expected!

I tested again adding camera>Original Date/Time to that jpg but replaced "/" by "-" and "T" by space (2020-06-15 10:46:39Z). Testing now "Set to XMP/EXIF date/time created" well worked!

Therefore, I understand that

I Have define following to set meta data from file date:
Set if Blank / Original Date/Time / \i:File date;
Set if Blank / Creation Date (xmp) / \i:File date;
Set if Blank / Modification date / \i:File date;

assigned values using the \i:file instruction are stored in a format they can't be reused later using date time (because of use "/" separator )

Maybe bring it to the attention of tech support..: http://www.thumbsplus.com/support.html

I will do as per suggested.

Thanks

ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Batch SET Original Date/Time

« on: 2021-02-25 09:35:41 »

Hi,

I'm trying to set Camera > Original Date/Time using Batch Editor so that being able to set later on (after editing image)
the file info as original date/Time.

I'm this is for either old images with no EXIF at all) or also for screenshots. (.png files)

I Have define following to set meta data from file date:
Set if Blank / Original Date/Time / \i:File date;
Set if Blank / Creation Date (xmp) / \i:File date;
Set if Blank / Modification date / \i:File date;

Script well works :
if File Date is: 15/06/2020 10:38:17.203
Result is as expected  (see attachment).

ISSUE is that this also define a Metadata Date as the current date/time.

When I later use the "Modify File Info" > Set to XMP/EXIF date-time

The File Date-time is set to a "metadata Date" and not the "Camera>Original Date/Time" previously defined!

Any Idea?
Regards

ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Batch Process: is there a way to select portion of image to change color?

« on: 2020-01-17 07:03:33 »

Hi,
I often use the clipboard auto save to capture webex, Teams or zoom sessions.
I would like later on being able to select identified parts being in while over black
background, in order to process the whole content using OCR tools.
While in batch script creation I don't found any Select part (like for a crop
operation) so that to apply an invert color only on this identified part.

Is that possible? what about including in new version? would it be possible
using Python?

Thanks for any help you could provide.
regards
Bernard
