Question about copying data from XMP Sidecar to NEF
Hi, I have searched the forums and they helped a lot, i came up a command line that works almost perfect for my needs. However there is a small problem, it only works if there is a sidecar file for every NEF file. I would like to only process for the files that have a sidecar XMP file. is there something I can change to make it work?

exiftool -tagsfromfile %d%f.xmp -r -m -overwrite_original -ext NEF inputFolder

I know that I could do the following:

exiftool -tagsfromfile DSC_0547.xmp -m -overwrite_original DSC_0547.NEF

I am not very good with Applescript, so to script it wouldnt be that easy for me. So I was hoping there is a parameter I missed that would make it work. I cant find it?

Thx in advance
Tiago
