Title: Writing impossible
Post by: emvedeesje on April 26, 2017, 10:30:24 AM
Hello,
When i want to write something like:
exiftool -UserComment="blabla" 123.jpg

I got this message:
Error: [minor] Bad MakerNotes offset for Unknown_0x12aa

Nothing can be written to this picture.
Is there a solution for this?

Michael.

See FAQ 20 (http://www.exiftool.org/faq.html#Q20) and maybe also FAQ 15 (http://www.exiftool.org/faq.html#Q15).

First try adding -m to your command.  If that doesn't work, try the commands in FAQ 20.

@StarGeek

-m did the trick

I was working in version 10.10 in Ubuntu 16.04.2
I only looked in the man-page for instructions, and via yor tip i discover the FAQ.

Thanks very much!

Michael.
