Title: adding to (or changing) ONLY keywords

I want to change or add to just the keywords of a file and leave all the other info intact.  I'm using Applescript to set variables.  When I use

"exiftool -keywords=" & myKeywords &" Desktop/ExifTest/Gallery_JPEGS/Huge-01.JPG"

it adds the keywords but it deletes all the other fields (description, Author. copyright notice.)  I must be missing something??

Thanks.

Pedro

What makes you think it deletes other tags?

Use exiftool to view the tags afterwards.  Or try using the
command from the -v2 option to see
what is happening when the file is written.

If you still can't figure it out, you can email my a
sample image along with the exact command you are
using and I will figure it out.
