How do I batch the file name (without extention) into the keyword in the metadata

[isigzz]

I am trying to use a keyword into sets of images, each of the images on the set contains in the file name what I want for keyword and an extension.

Example,

File names:   

WD111_main

WD111_01

WD111_02

I want all of them to have on the metadata just WD111.

help?!?!

An old thread, however still worthy of a reply:

The following Adobe Bridge script will copy the filename without extension to the IPTC metadata Description field:

Re: How to Batch copy filename to its metadata Title

or

Add filename to description

So in theory, all you need to do is swap over the Description field to the Keywords field. It may not be “that easy”, however I am hoping that it is! (I can’t script, so I am just guessing)

EDIT: Try this thread instead:

One could also just use the “find” command in Adobe Bridge to filter all of the filenames that contain or starts with WD111, then select all and manually type in WD111 in the Keyword metadata field.
