Consider the following command:
exiftool -k "-xpauthor<Artist: $filetype" FILE
where FILE is a JPEG image file.
When I use ver 8.25, "Artist:" (without quotes, and shown in bold above) is written as part of the tag value for xpauthor. (along with the value of the filetype tag)
When I use ver 8.55 it is not; only 2 spaces and the value of the filetype tag are written.
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the colon.
How should I modify the above command for use in version 8.55 so Artist: is written as in version 8.25
In general, how can I write a "constant" that is a special character?
Thanks,
Jim
Thank you very much for pointing out this bug. It effects versions 8.32 through 8.55, but it will be fixed in version 8.56 when it is released.

Thank-you, Phil :)
The command writes correctly with version 8.56.
Maybe you'll move this topic to the Bug section.

edit: corrected version number
Great. (I assume you meant version 8.56, not 8.26).
And moved this thread to the bugs section.
