Post by: pauloHess on April 08, 2013, 08:01:31 PM
Hi

I am trying to remove all metadata : XMP,EXIF,FILE ...(a "white list" approach) to place my own metadata.
what is the command for it?

Thank you
P.H.

-All= will remove all metadata except APP14 Adobe segment.  You can use --TAG to exclude tags or groups from the deletion.

See Documentation (http://www.exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html) under the --Tag section.

See this thread (https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=2875.30) for reason behind APP14 Adobe segment.

Edit: Fixed segment name and added thread link.
