Title: Some info that I don't know to see with ExifTool
Post by: comp3v on October 04, 2012, 09:14:55 PM
Hello,
I have two JPG files with slightly different headers (I see blocks which are different when looking on the files' content in binary mode). When I check these files with ExifTool, the only difference it shows are date/time of file modification/acces and the string "XMP Core 5.1.2" for "XMP Toolkit" section. But even simply by the size of the blocks, the difference is obviously more than just that. How can I dig out what exactly means the difference in my files?
Thanks in advance!
(files are attached; please don't pay attention to contents, it could be whatever, my question is just about headers)

The best way to see exactly what is going on in the EXIF is with the exiftool -htmldump feature (https://exiftool.org/htmldump.html).
