Hi all,
I'm struggeling when trying to define an own user defined tag.
I am trying to write the tag USP:OriginalFilename to my Fuji-RAW-File "TESTFILE.RAF"
Please advice what's wrong with the syntax.
My Configfile is named "EXIFTOOL_CFGFILE" (no file extension) and has the following content:
%Image::ExifTool::UserDefined = (
'Image::ExifTool::Exif::Main' => {
0xd000 => {
Name => 'OriginalFilename',
Writable => 'string',
WriteGroup => 'USP',
},
# add more user-defined EXIF tags here...
},
# new XMP namespaces (eg. xxx) must be added to the Main XMP table:
'Image::ExifTool::XMP::Main' => {
# namespace definition for examples 8 to 11
USP => { # <-- must be the same as the NAMESPACE prefix
SubDirectory => {
TagTable => 'Image::ExifTool::UserDefined::USP',
},
},
},
);
The Exiftool is called like this:
c:\exiftool\exiftool.exe -config D:\#BV\EXIFTOOL_CFGFILE -USP:OriginalFilename="First Try" H:\_EXIFTest\TESTFILE.RAF
In the top part, you're defining an EXIF tag, but the bottom part is defining a XMP group
This works for me, though you might need to tweak it a bit.
%Image::ExifTool::UserDefined = (
# new XMP namespaces (eg. xxx) must be added to the Main XMP table:
'Image::ExifTool::XMP::Main' => {
# namespace definition for examples 8 to 11
USP => { # <-- must be the same as the NAMESPACE prefix
SubDirectory => {
TagTable => 'Image::ExifTool::UserDefined::USP',
# (see the definition of this table below)
},
},
# add more user-defined XMP namespaces here...
},
);
%Image::ExifTool::UserDefined::USP = (
GROUPS => { 0 => 'XMP', 1 => 'XMP-USP', 2 => 'Image' },
NAMESPACE => { 'USP' => 'http://ns.myname.com/USP/1.0/' },
WRITABLE => 'string', # (default to string-type tags)
# Example 8. XMP-xxx:NewXMPxxxTag1 (an alternate-language tag)
# - replace "NewXMPxxxTag1" with your own tag name (eg. "MyTag")
OriginalFilename => { },
);

I'm wondering why you feel the need to create your own tag here, though, as there already is a standard place for the original file name with the XMP-xmpMM:PreservedFileName tag. There's even another tag with the same name used by Getty Images, XMP-getty:OriginalFileName.
