Hello Phil,
since some days I do some tests with Exiftool argument files. I use version 10.58 on a Windows 7 system.
I think that the 2 argument files exif2iptc.args and iptc2exif.args do not properly take care of the timezone tags introduced with latest Exif standard.
Therefore I would like to propose the following changes:
exif2iptc.args:
The 2 lines:
-IPTC:TimeCreated < EXIF:DateTimeOriginal
-IPTC:DigitalCreationTime < EXIF:CreateDate
should be replaced with following:
-IPTC:TimeCreated < Composite:SubSecDateTimeOriginal
-IPTC:DigitalCreationTime < Composite:SubSecCreateDate
because the Exif tags do not contain timezone values, but the Composite tags do.
iptc2exif.args:
The following 2 lines should be added in order to write/create the Exif timezone tags:
-EXIF:OffsetTimeOriginal < IPTC:TimeCreated
-EXIF:OffsetTimeDigitized < IPTC:DigitalCreationTime
Thanks for your comments in advance.
Best regards
Herb
Hi Herb,
Thanks for mentioning this. You're right, I hadn't updated the IPTC conversions yet. I'll do that for the next release.
