Title: Can -tagsFromFile accept an XMP sidecar file as SRCFILE

I propose

>exiftool -tagsFromFile in.xmp sample.jpg

to embed the XMP from sidecar in.xmp into sample.jpg.

The documentation talks about generating sidecar files. Can it accept them as input?

Hi Carl,

Yes. The -tagsFromFile option will accept any file that exiftool can read.
