Title: JPG comment tag group
Post by: mcjtom on January 04, 2020, 08:42:12 AM
-EXIF:ImageDescription tag has EXIF as an explicit indicator of a group.  What is the group for JPEG -comment tag and how do I figure it out for other tags from https://exiftool.org/TagNames/index.html (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/index.html)?

The JPEG comment is in the File group.  The easiest way to figure this out is to write a comment to a file then read it back with the -G or -G1 option.

When I want to search all the Tag Name pages, I use Google search with a Site: option.  For example
site:exiftool.org/TagNames DateTimeOriginal (https://www.google.com/search?q=site:exiftool.org/TagNames+DateTimeOriginal)
