Copying specific section from xmp to source files

[warrencalvert]

Hi

I see some posts with similar requests but none that exactly fit what I need to do and am struggling to work it out so would be grateful for some help.

I need to copy the entire regions section, as shown below, from xmp files to the corresponding source files.

Code Select Expand

<mwg-rs:Regions rdf:parseType="Resource">
    <mwg-rs:AppliedToDimensions
    stDim:w="5312"
    stDim:h="2988"
    stDim:unit="pixel"/>
    <mwg-rs:RegionList>
    <rdf:Seq>
      <rdf:li>
      <rdf:Description
        mwg-rs:Type="Face"
        mwg-rs:Name="face name">
      <mwg-rs:Area
        stArea:x="0.466771"
        stArea:y="0.318608"
        stArea:w="0.028125"
        stArea:h="0.050000"
        stArea:unit="normalized"/>
      </rdf:Description>
      </rdf:li>
    </rdf:Seq>
    </mwg-rs:RegionList>
  </mwg-rs:Regions>
The difficulty is I need to process all files with all extensions except RAW files (i.e. NEF and CRW)
I also can't find how to copy just this section.

Thanks,
Warren.

To copy then entire MWG region info, you would just copy RegionInfo.  See the MWG tags page.

The command would be almost the same as I posted previously, except you want to not process XMP files by using two hyphens, change the source file extension to XMP, and specify only the RegionInfo tag.

exiftool -r --ext xmp -TagsFromFile %d%f.xmp -RegionInfo /path/to/files/
