Phil,
We're trying to set a partial precision date to an XMP tag, such as,
./exiftool -n -XMP:DateCreated='2010:06:14 17:51' TestImage.JPG
but when I read the tag back out I get,
./exiftool -n -XMP:DateCreated TestImage.JPG
Date Created : 2010:06:14 17:51:00
If I just do day-precision (instead of minute-precision) everything works as expected.
If we're reading page 11 of the XMP spec part 2 (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/xmp/pdfs/XMPSpecificationPart2.pdf) correctly, then minute-precision should be allowed (although not hour-precision).
We're doing this through the API and not the app, but the results appear the same. Are we doing something wrong? Or is this a bug?
Thanks,
Jeffrey
Hi Jeffrey,
You are correct about the XMP date/time formatting. ExifTool should allow the seconds to be missing without inserting a value of 00 as is the current behaviour. I will fix this in the next release.
