Suggestion for Inverse Geotagging command

[StarGeek]

In answering a question on reddit, it hit me that the example Inverse Geotagging command might be better written using the -w (-TextOut) option/-W (-tagOut) option

One example for videos which would write an individual file for each video
exiftool -p gpx.fmt -ee3 -w %d%f.gps FILE [...]

And one for a single geo track from multiple files
exiftool -p gpx.fmt -ee3 -W+! %dout.gps FILE [...]

Thanks for thinking about this.

The example I gave is the inverse of the ExifTool -geotag feature which tags individual images from a single track log.

Your first command is another possible use for this feature.

Your second command is another way to implement my example, but I think it is a bit harder to understand.

Given that I don't want to confuse people with multiple examples, I think it may be best left as is.

Sounds good.  I'm adding these to my notes in case the specific situation comes up again.
