Title: Question to IntellectualGenre
Post by: herb on November 25, 2016, 08:51:26 AM
Hello Phil,

During tests with Daminion I have seen that it handles xmp-tag IntellectualGenre as a listtype tag.
See the following  part that I copied from the image file:
<Iptc4xmpCore:IntellectualGenre> <rdf:Bag> <rdf:li>Genre1</rdf:li> <rdf:li>Genre2</rdf:li> </rdf:Bag> </Iptc4xmpCore:IntellectualGenre>

When I display all tags with Exiftool it displayes 2 seperate lines; one for Genre1 and one for Genre2
When I export all xmp tags into a sidecar file with option -o %d%f.xmp FILE
Exiftool creates the following
<Iptc4xmpCore:IntellectualGenre>Genre1, Genre2</Iptc4xmpCore:IntellectualGenre>

For me this happens, because Exiftool does not handle this tag as listtype tag.
Is this an error done by Daminion?

Thanks for your comments in advance
Best regards
Herb

Hi Herb,

According to the IPTC4XMP specification, this should be a simple text value:

So I think Daminion is wrong.
