This implies running the exiftool three times to get the variables filled, right? As exiftool is quite slow in execution i would have hoped to refrain from running it more than once in my script. But i will surely look into this approach and do some experimenting.

Well, I'm not very good at bash scripting, so I'm sure this can be vastly improved upon, but I got it working using something like exiftool -f -S -s -Date -Time -FrameNumber filename|(read IMGDATE read IMGTIME read IMGFRAME if [ "$IMGDATE" = "-" ]; then and so on as in my other mail, finished up with a ), then put the whole thing inside a "for filename in *.jpg *.pef *.whatever; do" and end it with a "done"
