I have named this plain text file "import.csv" and it looks like this:
In this example, I will be writing the product code to an unused metadata field, the IPTC Extension Suppliers Image ID. csv and then edit it in a spreadsheet app to change the column headers over to what ExifTool requires and to also update the full Mac OS image path. csv example only uses 2 images, however it could be 20,000 images: csv file from your PLM system, containing the product code and current/old filename. Step 1: Backup the original/old filename to the XMP:PreservedFilename tag as detailed in the links in my earlier post. It may not be this easy for you, as I am working with a simplified model where all files are in a single folder called "rename" on the desktop, but it is a start point for your testing (work on copies of the original files). The following workflow uses ExifTool as that is what I am familiar with. There are a few options for exporting and importing metadata listed here at my blog post:Īdobe Bridge can Batch rename from a limited set of metadata fields so you could possibly do all of this using existing scripts without any further development or using ExifTool. Time permitting I can show some examples to help, as CLI tools can be hard for many users used to driving a computer via a GUI. Both of these options are possible with ExifTool. Next would be to rename using an appropriate tool that can use a text file from your PLM system.ĭepending on the software, you may first need to put the product code into a metadata field, then rename using the metadata field.
I would either do this via Adobe Bridge or ExifTool: If I was doing this, my first step would be to preserve the current filename in metadata, and ensure that it was actually preserved.
