Title: Recovering ExifData from a file
Post by: eXMarty on March 20, 2015, 04:07:07 PM
From the original NEF file I exported ExifData into MIE file (attached)
exiftool -o %d%f.mie -all:all -ext NEF .

If ExifData in MIE file importing in ExifToolGUI to the corresponding JPG file it seems alright.

If ExifData in MIE file importing into the corresponding JPG file - way
exiftool -TagsFromFile %d%f.mie -ext JPG .
created partly different file. For example, missing tag "Flash".

What method can be used for batch file to be the same result as ExifToolGUI? (Please procedure for multiple files at once)

Thanks very much for answer

Sorry, I'm on a business trip right now and won't have a chance to look at this in detail until next week.  But I would try adding -all:all to the end of the -tagsfromfile command to see what that changes.  Also, take a look with -a -G1 at the mie file to see where Flash is stored.  If it is EXIF:Flash, you should be able to copy it without problem.

Thanks,

I finally used this method:

exiftool -TagsFromFile %d%f.mie -exif:all -ext JPG .

Writed EXIF data are identical, even though the file size is slightly different than the EXIF writed by ExifToolGUI
but it is no important

Thank you
