Title: Delete specific XMP mwg-rs:Regions info. but not all.

Hello Exif experts

I have ill-advisedly name tagged some people in group photos usong XMP mwg-rs:Regions with the name "0_Ignore"
Can I use ExifTool to remove such specific unwanted region tags from a jpg file (or group of files)?

I imagine the command is something like

ExifTool -XMP-mwg-rs:0_Ignore -P *.jpg

With best wishes,

Alex

Hi Alex,

Yes. The struct documentation explains this (https://exiftool.org/struct.html#Deleting).

For you, the command would be:

exiftool -regionlist-="{Name=0_Ignore}" -P -ext jpg DIR

This will remove all MWG RegionStruct structures (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/MWG.html#RegionStruct) in the RegionList with the name "0_Ignore".
