I whould love to make a batch file for windows and another for macosx ( some unix batch file ) where it will add keywords to each jpg that i have on a cd while copying from the cd to a folder on any windows pc or mac. I have over 1200 photos scanned so far I being adding keywords with iphoto manually but I whould love make a bat file compatible with this 2 oses I know i might have do 2 batch files 1 for pc another for mac. The idea is copy D:\folder\photo001.jpg c:\folder\ rename c:\folder\photo001.jpg add keyword to c:\folder\photo001.jpg I know how to do the copy and rename on both systems but I don't know how to tell the pc or mac to add the keyword ( some pictures have lots keywords ) I hope I explained myself well thanks in advance

echo keyword >> c:\folder\photo001.jpg ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

I don't know how to add a keyword doesn't work on msdos xp

I cant help you with unix scripts, but here's a batch for windows. It will copy every jpg file on d: and add the keyword "something" to the filename. ::-----CODE----- @echo off set keyword=something d: for %%i in (*.txt) do copy %%i c:\%keyword%-%%i ::-----CODE-----

"I don't know how to add a keyword doesn't work on msdos xp" The code I posted will work in DOS or XP. Dunno about Mac/unix. ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2
