Tag does not exist

[llapthorn]

Hello,

I'm having a problem with the tags containing spaces in the description. I saw in the FAQ https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q2 that we had to use the -s option to see the real name of the tag.

Code Select Expand

exiftool -s 00525820.jpg | grep Custom
CustomField1                    : Isopix
CustomField2                    : Agences d'origine
CustomField3                    : Photographe
CustomField4                    : Isopix



So when I want to edit CustomField4 for example I get the error :

Code Select Expand

exiftool -CustomField4=Reporters 00525820.jpg
Warning: Tag 'CustomField4' does not exist
Nothing to do.

ExifToolVersion                 : 9.01

Is there a bug or am i doing something wrong ?

Thank you & Regards.

I did some research, and I'm guessing that this is a proprietary Fotostation XMP tag.

You can write these tags, but it will require creating user-define tags to do this.

If you can post the output of "exiftool -xmp -b" on this file, I can verify my assumption about the origin of this tag.

[Phil Harvey]

I was correct.

Attached below is a config file that will allow you to write all of the proprietary Fotostation XMP tags in this image.

See the sample config file for instructions on how to activate the attached file.
