What each setting does
The input this example runs File Metadata Extractor – EXIF, GPS & Document Properties with. “Try this input” opens it in the console, where you can run it as-is or change any field first.
- File URLs
fileUrls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ianare/exif-samples/master/jpg/gps/DSCN0027.jpg, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ianare/exif-samples/master/jpg/gps/DSCN0029.jpg, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ianare/exif-samples/master/jpg/gps/DSCN0038.jpg, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ianare/exif-samp…
Direct links to the files, one per line: photos (JPEG, HEIC, PNG, WebP, TIFF, RAW such as DNG, CR2, NEF, ARW), videos (MP4, MOV), audio (MP3, M4A, FLAC, WAV) and documents (PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument), up to 500 MB each. Google Drive, Dropbox and GitHub share links are turned into download links…
- Place names for GPS locations
reverseGeocode Town only (fastest)
What to add when a file carries GPS coordinates. Street address: the address from OpenStreetMap (road, house number, suburb, city, postcode, country), about one new location per second. Town only: the nearest town or city with its region, country and time zone from a built-in place list, instantly. Off: coordinates…
Default: Street address → this example uses Town only (fastest)
- Include every metadata tag
includeAllTags No
Add a 'metadata' object with every tag found in the file, grouped by where it is stored (EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC, maker notes, QuickTime, PDF, ID3 ...). Turn off for smaller rows with only the tidy columns.
Default: Yes → this example uses No
