Once in write mode, exiftool will ignore any read-specific options. By default the original files are preserved with _original appended to their names - be sure to verify that the new files are OK before erasing the originals. To copy or move metadata, the -tagsFromFile feature is used. To write or delete metadata, tag values are assigned using - TAG=, and/or the -geotag, -csv= or -json= options. Metadata is read from source files and printed in readable form to the console (or written to output text files with -w). FILE is one or more source file names, directory names, or - for the standard input.
