Set technical data with batcher?

Post by DarkStar »

I'm trying to set image technical metadata with the batcher, but I can't seem to figure it out. I want to set the focal length, but this could probably apply to any of the fields.

So far, I have done:
  • * Create a batch
    * Add a "Image Details" step
    * Expand the "Technical" drop-down list
    * Click the little circle and check "Replace Content"
After this, however, I can't figure out where to actually set/pick the new value. Currently, it just defaults to 0.0 mm.

You can't set technical metadata. This is supposed to be written by your image recording device.

You could use tools like ExifTool to edit these fields for your images.

Thanks. I'll look into that.

As a feature request, it might be worth removing the selection circles for read-only fields.
