Hello Forum,

I have a new XMP schema installed. You can see the schema file here:

http://github.com/clr/astronomy_visualization_metadata_exiftool_profile/tree/master/.ExifTool_config

This schema is rather strange in that the tag names include periods; for example, there is a tag 'Spatial.Notes', etc. I noticed that I can set this tag using

Code:

exiftool -xmp-avm:Spatial.Notes="stuff" filename

and

Code:

exiftool -b -xmp filename | grep Spatial.Notes

shows that it properly updates the file. However, any subsequent update to the XMP will result in 'Spatial.Notes' disappearing.

I assume that this is a bug, since the behavior seems erratic. I would offer a solution, but I'm not too familiar with Perl. I hope I have properly described the issue.

Thanks!

ExifTool tag names may not contain periods. The tag ID's
may have periods, but for these tags you must specify
a different tag name. ie)

Code:

'Spatial.Notes' => { Name => 'SpatialNotes' },
