Title: mwp:Creator written twice?
Post by: tkaufmann on August 17, 2010, 06:15:51 PM
Hi,

I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.4 with Exiftool 8.27. The following command

/usr/bin/exiftool -use MWG -overwrite_original_in_place -Location='somewhere' -City='mytown' -State='mystate' -Country='mycountry' -Creator='My Name' '/Volumes/Data/tim/_DSC0071.NEF'


results in:

exiftool /Volumes/Data/tim/_DSC0071.NEF | grep Creator
Creator               : My Name, My Name

Hi Tim,

Interesting.  The problem is that this command writes both MWG:Creator and XMP:Creator.  I will try to think of some way to keep this from happening, and add a patch if I can.  But until then, try this:


/usr/bin/exiftool -overwrite_original_in_place -mwg:Location='somewhere' -mwg:City='mytown' -mwg:State='mystate' -mwg:Country='mycountry' -mwg:Creator='My Name' '/Volumes/Data/tim/_DSC0071.NEF'

Hi Tim,

I have figured out how to patch this problem so the command line you were trying to use will have the expected results.  So this will be fixed with exiftool 8.29 or later.

Thanks for the report.
