This is from Nikon but works with card readers so is OK for any camera. https://nikoneurope-en.custhelp.com...~/nikon-transfer-1.5.1-full-version---windows
It allows you to transfer pics from the card to a main destination & a backup destination if required while embedding data at the same time.

I believe faststone can do it but haven't used it. Can you make actions in paint shop pro?

Cheers to everyone, but we have a winner:
If only it would allow to select a source folder other than removeable drive but still, it's a lot quicker just copying a batch to a memory card and dong it that way than typing the same thing over and over again individually!

Xnview does it very fast aswell. Type it out once then it's literally 3 or 4 clicks to attach the same data to any number of photos in any directory

If you are working with existing files then View NX2 may be better. Another free download from Nikon and great for editing NEFs but will also open JPEG & TIFF.
You select all the pics that you want to add data to, open the Metadata panel and just type in the info which you want inserted in all the selected pics.

"exiftool" will do the job for IPTC copyright field, just a simple case of:
or
Either way can be simply put in a batch file and run as needed, plus it's a truely crossplatform solution working the same way on windows, linux, os x or whatever else that has the ability to run exiftool.
Plus it can put the IPTC field into your .dng/.cr2/.nef files without having to remember to do it to jpeg files as the last step before 'publish'.
Edit:
Should probably have included a link to exiftool, here. That also has the list of file types it can read/edit exif info for. (And besides, exiftool is one of those swiss army tools that's just plain 'handy' to have around anyway)
Code:
exiftool.exe -Copyright="©2011 SomeOneImportant" *.*or
Code:
exiftool.exe -r -Copyright="©2011 SomeOneImportant" .Either way can be simply put in a batch file and run as needed, plus it's a truely crossplatform solution working the same way on windows, linux, os x or whatever else that has the ability to run exiftool.
