hello,
I'm trying to add a title to a picture so that my photo library can display it.
when I add the title via windows, the library displays it correctly.
when I look at the file, I see that windows changed XPTitle, Title, ImageDescription and Description.
so i thought I could do exiftool -v -overwrite_original -XPTitle="my title" -Title="my title" -ImageDescription ="my title" -Description="my title" photoname.jpg
it actually changes the right lines but my library won't get the title
so I tried to compare the to files with
exiftool a.jpg b.jpg -a -G1 -w txt
diff a.txt b.txt
but all I could see was
+[XMP-dc] Title : My Title
+[XMP-dc] Description : My Title
I tried to add -xmp:Title="My Title" but doesnt change...
I see no other difference between my exiftool command and what windows does.
any guess?
I'll answer myself.
there where no difference, My library just seems to remeber photos and take info from the database.
If I do a exiftool -v -overwrite_original -ImageDescription="My desc" -Description="My desc" myfile.jpg
before adding the picture in anyway in my library, I end up with what I want.
