Hi, I'm trying to wholesale copy metadata from original .jpg files to .jpg files that had metadata stripped during image processing.
This: perl "C:\Windows\exiftool.pl" -a -u -g1 "C:\AV GIS\hot spot removal\e168\Images\glom\IMG_000149_RGB.jpg" > catstar.txt
yields this in the redirected output (many tags omitted for brevity, including ALL the EXIF data):
...
---- XMP-avi ----
Auto Color : 0
Auto Exposure : 1
Avx Time : 192664
Blue Pixel Intensity Count : 11533612
Blue Threshold A Count : 433
...
Ils nir : 6359.000000
Ils red : 4391.000000
---- XMP-xmp ----
Rating : 0
But the result of this:
perl "C:\Windows\exiftool.pl" -tagsfromfile "C:\AV GIS\hot spot removal\e168\Images\glom\test\IMG_000149_RGB.tif" -all:all "C:\AV GIS\hot spot removal\e168\Images\glom\corrected\IMG_000149_RGB.jpg"
Only produces these xmp tags in the destination .jpg:

This is on Win7. EXIF data is not a problem. I really want to get all the XMP tags and data under that XMP-avi group visible in the redirected read output.
This is probably the newbiest of newbie questions.
Thanks.
If you copy XMP tags individually, then only the writable tags will be written (see the XMP tags docmentation (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/XMP.html) -- XMP-avi is not yet supported). Try copying as a block instead:
perl "C:\Windows\exiftool.pl" -tagsfromfile "C:\AV GIS\hot spot removal\e168\Images\glom\test\IMG_000149_RGB.tif" -all:all -xmp "C:\AV GIS\hot spot removal\e168\Images\glom\corrected\IMG_000149_RGB.jpg"
This should do what you want for JPEG files as long as the XMP is less than the JPG segment size limit (64kB).
Alternatively you could create user-defined tags to write what you want.
