Filter by EXIF?

Post by romprod »

Hey,

Super quick question really, is it possible to filter by EXIF properties at all? For eg; I'd like to only copy photo's captured by a certain device.

Thanks,

Hello,
theoretically yes but difficult. You can write a PascalScript to invoke exiftool, which can dump the EXIF metadata to a text file, and then the PascalScript can read the text file and evaluate it.

If you could live with such exif text files being saved next to each source file, that could make it easier. Or they could be stored in a separate folder.

Keeping the text files could make subsequent runs faster because the exiftool doesn't have to be invoked if the text file still exists.
