I need to automatically set a files properties title field to the filename for all files in a given folder. Can Metadataminer tool do this?
Yes, using the mass Modify set of files properties function (shortcut F6) with the $filename parameter in Title property for Microsoft Office files such as Word, Excel, Powerpoint. You can also use this functionality to create your own property type i.e. user defined property on a set of documents: name it and optionally set a default value; this way you avoid to add this defined field in documents instead of opening one by one.
