Title: [REQ] Add support for new XMP namespace and custom tag
Post by: axelriet on May 01, 2012, 10:48:23 PM
Hi Phil,

I'm authoring an image viewer app for Windows and it has a feature where it displays rich text comments on top of images. These comments are stored in XMP in their own namespace and tag. I'd like to know if you could add support for that in ExifTool, so users can read (extract) this comment and also write it inside files if they want.

The namespace and preferred prefix are xmlns:fpv="http://ns.fastpictureviewer.com/fpv/1.0/" and the element name is <fpv:RichTextComment>. The content is an RTF text string, sometimes wrapped in in a CDATA.

The namespace and tag are publicly documented here: http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/help/#rtfcomments

Many thanks in advance for considering this,
Axel Rietschin
