Did a search and didn't find an answer, probably just incompetence...
When processing using ufraw + gimp, much of the meta-information is lost.
I thought I would extract from the raw file and reinject into the .jpg result.
Unfortunately, doing so omits all the makernotes:
exiftool -a -u -all:all foo.orf -o org_orf.mie
ls -l org_orf.mie
-rw-r--r-- 1 garya hawksnest 96562 Mar 5 10:36 org_orf.mie
wc org_orf.mie
413 2041 96562 org_orf.mie
(process in ufraw + gimp and write a .jpg)
exiftool -a -u -tagsFromFile org_orf.mie foo.jpg
Warning: MakerNotes too large to write in JPEG segment - foo.jpg
1 image files updated
exiftool -a -u -all:all foo.jpg | wc
119 566 5318
I've tried directly writing only the makernotes, model, and make, but that has the same problem.
This seems like it should be a no-brainer; what am I missing?
What camera model is this? It seems that I may have to drop some metadata from these maker notes when copying for it to fit into a JPEG segment.

Camera is an Olympus e-m5
Do you need an orf and associated jpg?
OK, thanks. I can reproduce this with my samples here. I will update ExifTool 9.23 to drop the same metadata as Olympus does when writing JPEG maker notes.
