I am copying tags from a source image using: exiftool -all= -m -v -tagsfromfile src.jpg -all:all dest.jpg
The source file has a usercommant tag value of "SomeComment\u0000\u0000" which gives a warning of 'Invalid EXIF text encoding for UserCommand'
The destination file usercommant tag gets set to "SomeComment" and drops the remaining characters.
Is there any way to copy the tag exactly even with the invalid characters? I would like the source and destination file tags to be exactly the same after the copy tag operation.
Thanks

To do this would require overriding the ExifTool definition of EXIF:UserComment with a user-defined tag that allows you to do a straight binary copy. Attached is a config file that will do this for you. See the sample config file (https://exiftool.org/config.html) for instructions on how to activate a config file.
