Been Googling for hours.
Seems many programs out there will take Exif data and create a filename for a photo. But I have hundreds (thousands?) of photos which have already been renamed to include the place, persons, etc. in them. Now I would like to take this descriptive file name and copy it into the Image Description or User Comment field so I can make sure it stays with the photo, plus sometimes the long file names create a problem burning CD's. Anyone aware of any program out there that can do this? Seems so easy to do.... Tks Kaz |

Since you are using Microsoft Outlook Express, I am assumming you are on microsoft windows. You could do this with jhead ( http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/jhead ) and the command line. The following will take all jpg's in the current directory and insert the file name without the extension into the jpg's comment field. for %F in (*.jpg) do jhead -cl "%~nF" "%F" -- Len |

Thanks for the responses,
Sounds great and think I will try jhead. I did see that one, but wasn't sure about the command line parameters. Yes, using Windows XP as was surmised from looking at the details in the post.
