Hi,

I'm using 2 different command line tools (x3f_extract.exe & exiftool.exe) to convert my digital camera X3F raw files to a more user friendly Adobe DNG format. I have to do this one file at the time wich is alot of work and time spending.

I have a X3F raw file : 'testimage.x3f'

I convert that file to a DNG raw file 'testimage.x3f.dng' using the following command:



The output of this command: testimage.x3f.dng doesn't contain the neccesary exif info so i use the freeware exiftool.exe tool to copy the exif metadata from the original X3F file to the newly made DNG file. I'm using the following command to do this:



which gives me the final file i can use in Adobe Lightroom.

I just got home from holiday and about to work through 1000 of such images i'm looking to automate these commands using a batch file. I was experimenting with forfiles using the following command which doesn't seem to work:



Can anybody help me finding what i'm doing wrong?

No need to use FORFILES. A normal FOR command will be just fine.

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
FOR %%G in (*.x3f) DO (
   x3f_extract -wb Daylight "%%G"
   exiftool -TagsFromFile "%%G" "-all:all>all:all" "%%G.dng"
)

That's what I was thinking too.

I was also trying to think of a way to do this all on one command line, but don't think && between the commands will do it.
