Any plans for Exiftool to write meta data to SVG or WebP images?
There are plans for WebP, but not SVG.

Hi Phil
Thanks for your prompt response. Do you have any approx target date for ability to write to WebP?
I am just about to work on something where embedding the meta data would be useful. If I had some idea of a target date it would help me to decide if I should use WebP - even if I use images without meta data it would be easier to upload same images again with meta data VS starting with jpg then having to edit HTML
While I haven't tested it, I believe that webpmux (https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/docs/webpmux) can add XMP and EXIF data to a webp. At least according to that page it can. It looks like it will embed an existing EXIF or XMP sidecar file. It could be at least a temporary solution until exiftool has the ability.
Thanks for bring this up. I had that page in my bookmarks to go back and look into it, but I had forgotten all about it.
It also appears that exiv2 (https://exiv2.org/) supports writing to webp, although I can't find any examples ATM.
I'm working on adding WebP write support to ExifTool 12.46. See this post for more information (https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?msg=75207).
