Hello everyone.
I am new to the forum but already using the Exiftool CLI for a while now. It's a fantastic tool. Thank you.
Now i am facing the following (maybe trivial problem):
I need to extract EXIF and IPTC Metadata from files and store it as a blob a database. The format needs to be XMP.
With regular exifttool Key/Value formatting and XML formatting, all tags are included correctly as expected.
But when i output the xmp format, some namespaces (i.e. Dublin Core) are missing in the output.
I use this command: exiftool -o -.xmp 3e251330.jpg
resulting in this out, which is in the correct format, but missing some information (xmp:dc):

When using Adobes xmpcommand cli, all information is included (see below) but it got problems with the text encoding.
Thats why i'd like to use exiftool for the job.

What option am i missing to include all namespaces? I am mainly interested in xmp:dc and adobe-crs.
But i think any solution will be applicable to all other namespaces as well, right?!
Thanks in advance, looking forward to any helpful answer.

Nevermind. I found a solution.
I enabled the write support with -use MWG.
Looks good now.
Thanks anyway!
Also see the exif2xmp.args and iptc2xmp.args files in the arg_files directory of the full distribution for the arguments to convert EXIF and IPTC to XMP.
