EXIFTool SendTo Shortcuts
Posted: January 3rd, 2020, 2:05 am
Inspired by Den I have created a set of Windows Shortcuts that can be used on selected files or entire folders from Windows Explorer right-click SendTo menu.
If you want to use them, you need to edit the scripts below with your own Artist/Copyright info and e.g. your RAW file extensions and copy and paste them into Target field in your Shortcut.
Move the completed shortcuts to:
C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
to make them available from the right-click SendTo menu.
The scripts should operate on selected files, folders and subfolders. They should exclude RAW files (CR2 and RAF in my case) from any accidental operations. If you edit any of the scipts, be aware that Windows Shortcut Target field is limited to 260 characters (e.g. my Add Author and Copyright is at its max length already). Nice People at ExifTool warned me that there may be a Windows limit to a number of selected files that can be processed this way, but I have run them on 200+ JPGs without problems.
I'm still testing those scripts, so please be careful.
