Hello !
I'm not sure but I think there is a missing syntax in SYNOPSIS because "Tag operations" are differents.
SYNOPSIS https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#synopsis (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#synopsis)
Original:
exiftool [OPTIONS] -TAG[+-<]=[VALUE]... FILE...
exiftool [OPTIONS] -TAG[+-]=[VALUE]... FILE...
exiftool [OPTIONS] -TAG[+-]<=DATFILE FILE...
exiftool [OPTIONS] -TAG[+-]<SRCTAG FILE...
Tag operations https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#tag_operations (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#tag_operations)
-TAG or --TAG Extract or exclude specified tag
-TAG[+-]=[VALUE] Write new value for tag
-TAG[+-]<=DATFILE Write tag value from contents of file
-TAG[+-]<SRCTAG Copy tag value (see -tagsFromFile)
Hi Orax,
Thanks for your suggestion, but I don't think anything is missing. I will concede that the VALUE is a DATFILE name in the case where "<=" is used. The "-TAG[+-]<SRCTAG" is part of the -tagsFromFile feature. Also, I admit that the -tagsFromFile feature is more flexible than given in the synopsis ("<" is allowed as well as ">"; the -tagsFromFile is optional when ">" or "<" is used; the rh argument of "<" may be a format string; "+<", "-<", "+>" and "->" are all allowed...), but these are explained in the details below, and I think the synopsis is complex enough already.
