Hello again.

Thats my status:

Folder1
------- Folder2
-------------picture1.jpg
-------------picture2.jpg
------- Folder3
-------------picture1.jpg
-------------picture2.jpg
------- Folder4
-------------picture1.jpg
-------------picture2.jpg

Folder1 => Hazel runs include Subfolders (Run rules on folder contents)
Script:

Code: Select all

exiftool $1 -title=$(basename ${PWD}) -overwrite_original

The script works fine, BUT: all Pictures got the Titel "Folder1" and not the folder name of each file.

I think the problem is, that the script runs at once, not again in each subfolder.

Thanks in advance for your help

Best regards
Bernd

What are the conditions for that rule?

Hello Mr. Noodle,
my idea is to add folder name as a title in the photos and than I would import to PHOTOS including the title name.
The problem is, that the photos in the subfolders also get the folder name from the main folder (as title).

So I think the problem is, that the script once in the main folder, but not in each subfolder. I thought the process is:
- go to picture in subfolder and run the script with the actually folder and so on

Code: Select all

exiftool $1 -title=$(basename ${PWD}) -overwrite_original

${PWD} takes only the main folder, not each subfolder

I hope You can me a little bit understand, sorry for my bad English.

Best regards
Bernd

Again, can you post the actual conditions in the rule? That determines what item gets matched which is the issue here.

Hello Mr. Noodle,
sorry.... here my screenshots.

I have my problem solved

Code: Select all

var=$(dirname $1)
exiftool $1 -title=$(basename ${var}) -overwrite_original

Sure not nice... but it works fine

Since you need to use a script anyways, I'd say that's totally fine.
