Title: CUSTOM TAGS USING .config file
Post by: silverstorm on January 02, 2020, 02:28:24 AM
I tried to add custom tags (like FLIR tags) to JPEG images using the config file. The value is right but the key shows up as Exif_0xd000 instead of sth like NewExifTag. How to add custom tags to the EXIF APP1 section?

To see the custom tag names you must use your config file.  Tag names aren't stored in EXIF metadata.  Perhaps you should use XMP if you want to see the tag names without using a custom config file.  EXIF tags are not designed to be extensible.
