One of the coding experts might come up with a script. The command is there in Gimp to give a string of all the meta data.
I am assuming that all the meta data is a bit over-the-top, using an alternative ImageMagick. a command line application.
http://www.Imagemagick.org This is assuming jpeg files. RAW is more complicated and needs a working ufraw-batch installation (which I do not have)
You can see the exif information in a single file using
Code:
magick identify -format '%[EXIF:*]' image.jpg
Which gives a long listing of what is available - much the same as viewing the metadata in Gimp, the same sort of naming convention.
To get a text file out for just certain aspects of a set of image might look like this
Code:
magick identify -format "%i , %[Exif:DateTime] , %[Exif:FocalLengthIn35mmFilm] / " *.jpg > info.txt
where %i is the filename , date , focal-length, /(separator) (wildcard).jpg out-to-a-text file
....and for a few jpegs' I get this:
p1010170.jpg , 2014:08:01 13:41:06 , 57 / p1010197.jpg , 2014:09:26 09:30:02 , 98 / pentax0010.jpg , 2012:05:25 11:13:36 , 33 / pentax0074.jpg , 2012:09:09 14:36:04 , 25 /
Still not great for a spreadsheet but breaking the text at the / would give a csv file.
It might also be possible using exivtool but that is not something I am familiar with.
It might be worth asking the question on
https://discuss.pixls.us/ where (some) professional photographers frequent.
