Title: Newbie replace Text and äöü
Post by: powware on February 18, 2016, 04:53:34 AM

I try to modify some ITPC and X fields to see in Windows Explorer
it works fine, but the text is appendes instead of replaced
exiftool -Artist="Alex Zürich Switzerland" "h:/fotos/2014/40 jahre_0007.jpg"

By the way: The ü will be translated in wrong character

Thank you for any help

The command you used will overwrite any existing value for EXIF:Artist. It will not append the text.

See FAQ 10 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q10) for an explanation of how special characters are handled.
