Title: Line break inside tag achieved with .args file
Post by: stoickov on April 21, 2017, 12:00:24 PM
I've followed your advise to use my.args file to list different task. However, I can't find information how to create a new line in some tags (for example in multi-paragraph IPTC:Caption-Abstract) when I write the args. Is it possible?

FAQ 21 items b, c and d (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q21) give some tips on how to do this.

I've read the FAQ, but for some reason none of the methods seemed to work for me. The problem was the software which I used to import images. My bad.
Anyway, I went with the HTML method:

-E
-IPTC:By-line=Jörg Markus
-IPTC:Caption-Abstract=First Line
SecondLine
myimage.jpg
-execute


and it works like a charm. Thanks.
