Editing QuickTime tags is working great with Exiftool 10.33. Is it yet also possible to convert the value for QuickTime:GPSCoordinates?
I tried this, but without succes:
exiftool -QuickTime:GPSCoordinates="+52.372821+004.893702" -overwrite_original /Users/Fulco/Test/IMG_4578.MOV
Warning: Error converting value for QuickTime:GPSCoordinates (PrintConvInv)
Nothing to do.
It looks like I need to work on making ExifTool more flexible about the input formatting. Currently it accepts only the same format as it extracts, but I haven't allowed for a missing altitude. So either of these should work:
exiftool -QuickTime:GPSCoordinates="52.372821 N, 4.893702 E, 0 m Above Sea Level" -overwrite_original /Users/Fulco/Test/IMG_4578.MOV
exiftool -QuickTime:GPSCoordinates#="52.372821 4.893702 0" -overwrite_original /Users/Fulco/Test/IMG_4578.MOV
But I'll fix the next version to make altitude optional, and to not be so strict about the values it accepts.

Thanks, that worked! I hope the next release has the ability to write 6 decimals when editing the GPS coordinates.

What do you mean by write 6 decimals? In my example I'm writing values with 6 digits after the decimal.

When the existing gps coordinates value contains 4 digits behind the decimal Exiftool will only write 4 new digits again when editing this value:
exiftool -gpscoordinates -n /Users/Fulco/Test/20180525165936.mp4
GPS Coordinates : 52.449 4.8864
exiftool -QuickTime:GPSCoordinates#="52.372821 4.893702 0" -overwrite_original /Users/Fulco/Test/20180525165936.mp4

exiftool -gpscoordinates -n /Users/Fulco/Test/20180525165936.mp4
GPS Coordinates : 52.3728 4.8937 0
When the value has already 6 digits then Exiftool will also only allow 4 new digits:
exiftool -gpscoordinates -n /Users/Fulco/Test/IMG_0228.MOV
GPS Coordinates : 52.378135 4.922581 6
exiftool -QuickTime:GPSCoordinates#="52.372821 4.893702 0" -overwrite_original /Users/Fulco/Test/IMG_0228.MOV

exiftool -gpscoordinates -n /Users/Fulco/Test/IMG_0228.MOV
GPS Coordinates : 52.3728 4.8937 0

Hi Fulco,
Ah, thanks. I see the problem. This will be fixed in the next version too.

Thank you for Exiftool 10.34! Now I can write 6 digits after the decimal.
