Title: Showing Exif GPS data with/without -a option
Post by: BogdanH on January 06, 2012, 12:34:21 PM

Hi Phil,

I would expect both commands below would give the same output, but:
exiftool -s -GPS:All photo.jpg -only GPSxxxRef tags shown (no tags which hold coordinates)
and
exiftool -s -a -GPS:All photo.jpg -complete GPS content shown (as expected).

Can you explain, please?

Bogdan

Hi Bogdan,

You're going to slap your head when I remind you about FAQ number 3 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q3).

Hi Phil,

Now it's time for me to apologize. I mean... am I becoming senile or what? How embarrassing.

:) Makes me happy to know that I'm not the only one that does things like this.
