The "exiftool" Application / Re: Problems importing metadat...

Thank you very much.
The RunTimeValue is a tag that is present in the metadata of every apple photo I've come across and it usually consists in a very long number. Since it is a very long number, it is quite unique to each photo and it can be used like a fingerprint for images. Since the RunTimeValue tag can't be deleted, created or edited, I end up with all my non-Apple photos to have the same RunTimeValue tag, which make them appear fake if compared to one another, since that tag is very unlikely to be the same.
I think I will be the only one to ever ask for it, in case you can have a look at it and it is easy to make that tag writable I would be super grateful, otherwise it is not a problem since I'm already very satisfied with what I achieved, thank you!

Metadata / Re: Question about wrong dates...

Last post by wlire - November 20, 2024, 11:32:47 PM

So instead of copying the system file modify date, can I just offset all the quicktime times 4 hours forward?

You can use the GlobalTimeShift option with -TagsFromFile

In addition to this, I would like to preserve the existing system file modify date

Add the -P (-preserve) option.

Test this first, but the command would be something like
exiftool -P -GlobalTimeShift 4 -TagsFromFile @ -Time:All /path/to/files/

For some reason, when i have globaltimeshift set to 0 instead 4 it gives me the result I was looking for (dates are now in utc like the h11) however there is also an XMP tag created:
[XMP-xmp]       CreateDate                      : 2024:04:13 17:14:27
[XMP-xmp]       ModifyDate                      : 2024:04:13 17:14:27

Is there a way I can exclude this? And what would be the reason for the dates shifting by the correct amount when I put 0 instead of 4 for globaltimeshift?

I don't quite understand. Your title and pictures say export, but then you say "import all data".

I don't know the format that the GUI might export, so you would have to ask in that section of the forum. But a straight-up dump of all data for all files would be something like.
exiftool -G1 -a -s -r /path/to/files/ >Output.txt

This will probably require Phil's attention, but he's currently AFK until about the end of next week.

Bug Reports / Feature Requests / GPS from GoPro Hero 13 Video?

Last post by borism - November 20, 2024, 08:32:59 PM

Hi there, we are looking to extract GPS data from the new GoPro Hero 13. Here are sample video files: https://gopro.com/v/8Gw4QDZLgWMZr

It looks like exiftool is extracting a single lat/long but not more than that. Are you able to take a quick look?

Thank you so much in advance,
- Boris from the Mapillary team

Hi Phil, just a gentle reminder that an existence check for the help text file is still needed.

Should not the -keyword tag work transparently?

No. Tag names are not general. They apply only to tags with that name*. In the old IPTC standard, it was called Keywords. But the newer XMP standard, it is called Subject.

You should use the command in FAQ #3 to take a look at your files. All the other tags you list are XMP tags, (except the GPS ones, which are normally in EXIF, but can also appear in XMP). You may have been ending up with mixed groups in your copies, with some tags in XMP and others in IPTC.

Additional possible problems. IPTC tags are non-standard in PNG, and JP2. Exiftool and probably ImageMagick and exiv2 are about the only programs able to read them. IPTC cannot appear in WebP and HEIF files.

* There are a lot of details I'm glossing over with the statement, such as MWG (Metadata Working Group) tags, Composite tags, Extra tags, and Shortcut tags. But for most purposes, the statement is accurate.

Use just the directory name and the -ext (-extension) option

Use a dot for the current directory
exiftool -Photoshop:all= -ext jpg .

Or a full path
exiftool -Photoshop:all= -ext jpg /path/to/files/
