Running an AppleScript which includes taking IPTC Date Created and writing that data to EXIF and XMP Date Created.
exiftool -overwrite_original '-exif:DateTimeOriginal<$iptc:DateCreated 12:00:00' '-xmp:dateCreated<$iptc:DateCreated 12:00:00' '-iptc:TimeCreated=12:00:00'
This has been working well but I've come across some files which give me an error:
"Warning: Suspicious IFD0 offset for IPTC-NAA - /Volumes/Files - path/to/my/File.TIF
Warning: No writable tags found - /Volumes/Files - path/to/my/File.TIF
Warning: [minor] Entries in IFD0 were out of sequence. Fixed. - /Volumes/Files - path/to/my/File.TIF
Error: [minor] Suspicious IFD0 offset for IPTC-NAA - /Volumes/Files - path/to/my/File.TIF"
Corrupt files? Anything I can do to fix this?
Many thanks!
Yes, this is a format error in the TIFF file. You could try writing with the -m option, which would fix this error if it doesn't run into more problems, but some information (such as the IPTC) may be lost.
