I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Re: function -tagsfromfile for 500+ images
Hi Phil

Thanks for your quick advice, it worked partially. The parameter "img%5f.tif" does the job fine when called from the folder where the PSD file is located.

Once I use it with the PSD_Filelist, the variable gets the value 'filel' * from somewhere, but it does not take the Filename (see below).
* seems as the 'l' is an 'l' like 'little' and not a '1' like 'one'

C:\Images\2008\01_05 Hotel Margna\converted\PTGUI>exiftool -tagsfromfile ..\img% 5f.tif -exif:fnumber -exif:exposuretime -exif:datetimeoriginal -exif:createdate c:\images\filelist-test1.txt Error: Error opening file - ..\imgfilel.tif 0 image files updated 1 files weren't updated due to errors

Below samples of the file-list-test1.txt

70021-70030.psd 70038-70050.psd

I tried with and without path forward and backslash, the result of the variable 'img%5f.tif' remained unchanged in all error-messages (=imgfilel.tif.

/IMAGES/2008/01_05 Hotel Margna/converted/PTGUI/70021-70030.psd /IMAGES/2008/01_07 Maloja/converted/PTGUI/70038-70050.psd

Still, how will we accomplish to move in the many Directories where the PSDs are located ?
To me it seems as in this case the filelist.txt is the key of navigating sequentially among the many directories.
I've got some 858 such PSD files in about 450 different directories.

Hope you had some ideas while gone - we are getting closer
Hans
