Hi
I am batch processing Nikon NEF files using the Adobe DNG
convertor to create a backup DNG file and also DxO Optics
Pro to create a corrected DNG file that I use for processing
(then delete the DxO file due to the size). So I end up with
a directory full of files like this - 1.dng, 2.dng,
1_DxO.dng, 2_DxO.dng
<p>DxO is not xmp aware so the xmp data from the nef
sidecar file does not end up in the dxo dng file. I would
like to batch copy the xmp data from the Adobe dng right
through the directory. I can obviously do this file by file,
either with ExifTool or In Adobe Bridge, but it would be
great to automate the process. I think that the filename
argument may be useful, but looking through the
documentation, all those arguments make my eyes swim. It
took me all morning to figure out how to extract the xmp
data out a dng file to a xmp file, I was typing 'dir'
thinking 'dir' was an actual argument rather than the
directory location, not too bright.</p>
Any advice would be great. I'm not adverse to a different
dir structure or a different file naming system, although
DxO does insist on some new suffix after the original file
name. Or even if someone could suggest a batch renaming tool
that would strip off the DxO suffix.
Thanks in advance, I apologise for the simple question. I am
using WinXP Pro with the cmd shell.

PS Thanks to Phil for this tool, it looks really useful.
