Hi Phil
according to your log you've added the "ability to read/write IPTC as a block" in the latest version. Can you elaborate a bit on this, please, as I couldn't find anything in the docs? Did I understand correctly: all IPTC tags can be written and read in one go now? If yes, how?
Thx

Hi Uwe,
I did this mainly for symmetry. even though nobody has ever requested this feature.
These block-type tags are found in the Extra Tags (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/Extra.html) documentation. To copy as a block, use -iptc after -tagsfromfile. To copy tags individually, use -iptc:all. For most purposes, these two methods will be equivalent (other than the fact that copying as a block wipes out any existing IPTC in the destination). However, the block technique will copy non-standard tags that aren't writable individually by ExifTool (although these are rare).
- Phil
Edit: Fixed typo
Thanks, Phil.
