Title: Copying XMP-exif:DateTimeOriginal in the xmp2exif.args
Post by: StarGeek on January 28, 2023, 04:03:07 PM
The fun of competing standards.  In regards to the XMP versions of EXIF:DateTimeOriginal, the IPTC standard uses XMP-photoshop:DateCreated while the EXIF for XMP standard uses XMP-exif:DateTimeOriginal.

The xmp2exif.args copies XMP-exif:DateTimeOriginal as part of XMP-exif:all, but XMP-photoshop:DateCreated copies into Composite:SubSecDateTimeOriginal.  This means that the XMP-exif:DateTimeOriginal will not fill SubSecTimeOriginal/OffsetTimeOriginal.

I would suggest that this be added.
-Composite:SubSecDateTimeOriginal < XMP-exif:DateTimeOriginal

Just a minor change and not a high priority.

Good point, thanks.  I'll change this in the next release.
