Topic: [SOLVED] batch exif geo tagging images

any idea of tools/approaches to this? i have a photo set (my wedding photos) that i'd like to tag with the longitude and latitude, but i have no idea where to start. tia

edit:

ok, i just buckled down and did the bloody research. it's not super hard, and i was able to do a pretty basic modification to a tutorial on LXF... here's the result for posterity.

#!/bin/bash
##############################
LAT="45.5486996"
LONG="-122.1900352"

for image in $(cat images.txt)
  do
    exiftool  -P -c "%.6f degrees"        \
         -GPSLatitude=$LAT        \
         -GPSLongitude=$LONG        \
         -GPSAltitude=1        \
         -GPSLatitudeRef=N        \
         -GPSLongitudeRef=W        \
         $image
done

and the result...
