Hello Phil,
Looking for a filetype to backup all available tags I came to know these types: *.mie and *.exv.
StarGeek has created a MetadataTestFile.args that creates many many tags in all commonly used tag-groups.
I assign these tags to a test.jpg file and made 2 backups: test.mie and test.exv.
A short quickcheck showed that test.mie did not contain ducky-tags and also tag -file:comment.
It is unclear to me why we have this difference.
Thanks in advance
Best regards

Hi Herb,
What command did you use? You will likely need to add a few arguments to copy missing tags that you are interested in.

Hello Phil,
thanks for your quick reply
To create the backup files I used the following commands:
exiftool.exe -use mwg -o %d%f.%e.mie -all:all -unsafe testimage.jpg
exiftool.exe -use mwg -o %d%f.%e.exv -all:all -unsafe testimage.jpg
Then I exported it into a textfile using e.g.
exiftool.exe -a -g0:1 -all:all testimage.jpg.mie >out_mie.txt
and compared both (*.mie and *.exv) files tag-group by taggroup.
So I found that out_mie.txt did not contain ducky-tags and also tag -file:comment.

Hi Herb,
Sorry for the delay in responding. It is true that I haven't pre-defined any MIE tags to store "ducky" information. And the File:Comment would need to be copied to MIE:Comment.
