Any clues to the cause/source of these warnings?
Warning : [minor] Unknown APP5 'debuginfo' segment
Warning : [minor] Unknown APP4 segment
ExifTool doesn't recognize the data in these JPEG segments. You can use the -v3 or higher options to view the raw data.

Thanks Phil. Any way to clean/remove that data?
TagsFromFile appears to copy them along with valid tags.
-tagsFromFile will not copy unknown APP segments.
- Phil
Can you point out what I'm missing?

I figured it out, thanks.

OK, so although it did resolve the unknown APP segments,
this is something that I didn't expect.
Here is the region data prior to execution of the TagsFromFile command:
2024-0004-pre.jpg
And after:
2024-0004-post.jpg
The AppliedToDimensions tags are missing.
Any ideas?
That shouldn't happen if these tags are written properly and you aren't using a very old version of ExifTool.
Could you post the sample image for testing?
- Phil
I am running 12.8.0.0. which provided your recent ACDSee improvements.
Here's a link to the sample file: test file (http://vernbeau.quickconnect.to/mo/sharing/1vwrRxZM9)
Do you have a test file that has the original ACDSee region?
I tested Phil's config on an ACDSee sample I have and it came out correctly. In your file, the AppliedToDimensions part is ending up separate from the rest, outside of the "Region" block, which isn't happening with my test file.

StarGeek,
I went back as well to the original file with the ACDSee regions
and ran ACDSeeRegions2MWGRegion to create the MWG Regions.
As you reported, that process seemed to work properly.
I'm not sure how the file that I posted got into that condition, but it sounds like
it contained an improperly formatted MWG Region.
I do have a few files in this condition.
I'll see if I can find the common link to try and determine what software/condition caused the issue.
Thanks for the reply.
Yes. In your sample the AppliedToDimensions is written incorrectly as stand-alone tags whereas they should be elements within the Regions structure (called RegionInfo by ExifTool).

Thanks for the confirmation Phil.
Found the culprit. XnViewMP.
