Hello,
I added a new tag (AssetID) to a .jpg file using the following config,
%Image::ExifTool::UserDefined = (
'Image::ExifTool::XMP::xmp' => {
AssetID => { Writable => 'string', Groups => { 1 => 'XMP' } },
},
);
Now, when I try to get all tags, the added tag shows up as nil, as follows,
"ExifByteOrder",
"Orientation",
"ModifyDate",
"ImageUniqueID",
"XMPToolkit",
nil,
"ImageWidth",
"ImageHeight",
"EncodingProcess",
But, when I try to get file.AssetID, it gives the value I had given for AssetID. Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong.
Thanks,
kpg
I get this with ExifTool 10.33 using your config file:
> exiftool a.jpg -assetid=test
1 image files updated
> exiftool a.jpg -G1 -a -assetid
[XMP-getty] Asset ID : test
[XMP-xmp] Asset ID : test
So it worked, but apparently AssetID was already defined in the XMP-getty group.

I can retrieve AssetID but when I try to get all tag, I still get nil,
Code to get all tags:
creative_xmp = MiniExiftool.new creative_file
assetID = creative_xmp.to_hash
The result is as follows (The ID that I have added is ''c647a2ee3883241a6d1841b3addf6fb3''):
{"ExifToolVersion"=>9.27,
"FileSize"=>"12 kB",

nil=>"c647a2ee3883241a6d1841b3addf6fb3",
"ImageWidth"=>445,
"ImageHeight"=>269,

Can you reproduce this from the command line version of ExifTool? I don't know how MiniExifTool works, and I don't see the problem when I run from the command line.
But first I might suggest updating to a more recent version of ExifTool to see if the problem goes away. The current version is 10.33, and the version you are running is more than 3 years old.

Thank you so much :) I used ExifTool instead of MiniExifTool and I am able to see all the user defined tags :)
One more question:
Why is another file called _original getting created when I add a new tag? Is there a way to avoid it?

ExifTool automatically saves a your original file to act as a backup. Add
-overwrite_original to the command to avoid this.
