Put the knife down and take a green herb, dude. (c) Ruffin Bailey 2001-2021

You're doing this at your own risk. If you think you might want to vet each step, you should.

Worked for me. Your mileage may vary.

Download exiftool, an open-source, Perl [sic]-powered tool

I'll recommend the installer here.

Install the exe somewhere and get its location
Create a .bat file with this content (hat tip):

for %%v in (*.%1) do c:\path\to\exiftool.exe -all= "%%v"
If you want it to recursively spider down folders, use this:

for /r %%v in (*.%1) do c:\path\to\exiftool.exe -all= "%%v"

Call the .bat file in the folder where you have the images

C:\path\to\myBat.bat jpg
Note that this does one extension at a time but you can enter * instead to do every file (including non images) in the directory

C:\path\to\myBat.bat *

You could also rewrite that bat command to look for common file extensions.

Profit.

Exif has a lot of crappy stuff. I was getting ready to post some PodSwap pictures and didn't necessarily want to let you know where I took them. This seems to have gotten rid of it.

There are also Linux and macOS versions of exiftool

Watching files grow to see when a process that's writing to them ends is a little like watching grass grow. But there are easier ways than ls -alF followed by arrow up, return, followed by arrow up, return, followed by arrow up, return... This is really neat -- if you add a -d for the first option (differences), you can get the changes in the command highlighted in realish time too, which is awesome.

You can use the very handy command watch

watch -n 10 "ls -ltr"

And you will get a ls every 10 seconds.

And if you add a tail -10 you will only get the 10 newest.

watch -n 10 "ls -ltr|tail -10"

So watch -d -n 10 "ls -ltr|tail -10" ftw.

Also neat was to learn a bit more about tail and how it is less "tail end of the file" as much as it is, "Put a tail on that file and tell me where it goes." Every time the file updates, bam, you get the lines that were appended. That's cool.

You can use tail command with -f :

tail -f /var/log/syslog

It's good solution for real time show.
