-TagsFromFile and CodedCharacterSet

[marjue]

Hello

I'm using this command to transfer all metadate from one to another file. This works but special characters are not shown correctly.

Code Select Expand

exiftool -TagsFromFile  source.tif -IPTC:All -XMP:All dest.jpg
In the source picture  I can see this:
Coded Character Set            : UTF8

But in the destination "Coded Character Set" is empty.

How can I change this? The option "-charset utf8 " does not help.

Thanks for help

OK got it 

-codedcharacterset=utf8 helps a lot.

The CodedCharacterSet tag is marked as Unsafe to copy (see the IPTC tags page).  You either have to explicitly copy it
exiftool -TagsFromFile source.jpg -All:All -CodedCharacterSet target.jpg

Or directly set it as you found.
