[Digikam-users] Re: NEF/RAW+JPG: how to maintain coherent metadata

[Robert Zeller]

Hello Julien,

I am also shooting both jpg and raw/nef. I am editing tags / geodata and
captions on my jpgs only. After all is done I am using exiv2 to extract
all metadata from the jpgs; command is:

exiv2 ex *.jpg

this creates files with the same basename that the jpgs had, but with
extension .exv ; then I move the *.exv sidecars to the directory where I
store the raw files.
In this directory I use the following command sequence to write the
metadata to the *.nef files:

for F in `ls *.nef` ; do
exiv2 -iixe $F
done

The command : man exiv2 gives you all the options that are useful with
exiv2.

Hope this helps

Robert
