Delete Keywords

Hello,

I like to call ExifTool with the following params to delete the City from the Keywords:
ExifTool -IPTC:Keywords-=IPTC:City *.jpg

But it does not work. What is wrong? Or does this not work?

Hi Heiko,

The -= argument expects a tag value on the RHS, but
you want to use a tag name, so you need to use the
-tagsfromfile feature that allows you to copy
(or with "-", delete) a tag value by specifying
the tag name:

Code:

exiftool "-iptc:keywords-<iptc:city" *.jpg

See the -tagsFromFile documentation for details.  In
the above command, -tagsFromFile @ is assumed.
