Hi,
first of all thanks for writting and publishing "ExifTool".
Feature request: Is it possible to format the altitude data in a more compact way?
Currently there is no formatting possible:
GPS Altitude : 4 m Below Sea Level
GPS Altitude Ref : Below Sea Level
What I want to achieve is something like this (example):
GPS Altitude : -4 m
or
GPS Altitude : 4 m
or
GPS Altitude : 12 ft
Regards Klaus
Hi Klaus,
GPSAltitude is always reported in metres. using -gpsaltitude# will return a signed number for Composite:GPSAltitude. Maybe this is sufficient.

Hi Phil,
thanks for the response and pointing to the "#" option ...
Currently I have this:
exiftool -gpsaltitude# -All -unknown -sort -dateFormat "%Y/%m/%d-%H:%M:%S" -coordFormat "%+.6f" "Wreck.jpg"
Which result to (example):
...
Focal Length In 35mm Format : 140 mm
GPS Altitude : -3.2
GPS Altitude : 3.2 m Below Sea Level
GPS Altitude Ref : Below Sea Level
GPS Date Stamp : 2012:08:14
GPS Date/Time : 2012/08/14-12:25:06
...
"GPS Altitude" is printed twice. Is it possible to prevent the second printout of "GPS Altitude: 3.2 m Below Sea Level" ?
Klaus
Hi Klaus,
Unfortunately you are requesting this information twice (with -gpsaltitude# and -all). So that's what you get. And there isn't any way to specify that you want to disable the print conversion for just one tag from -all.

OK Phil - then I have to look for a workaround.
Thanks - Klaus
