how to tag photos from google locations

With this command, I don't see the purpose of the DateFormat option.

Oh, I see.   You want this option for other commands.  Right.

Yes, disabling the formatting with "#" is the correct thing to do.

Hi Phil, me again, yet again.

I still think I'm missing a key bit of the puzzle

My config file is:

Code Select Expand

# exiftool config file
%Image::ExifTool::UserDefined::Options = (
    CoordFormat => '%+.6f', 
    DateFormat => '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
); 
#end
But the xmp-dump doesn't respect the CoordFormat.

Lat/Long are in the "wrong" format - also, any method to return a decimal for altitude?
In the original gpx file the values were in the format: (ignore the precise values, I just copypasted the first element in the gpx file but all the same format)

Code Select Expand

      <trkpt lat="41.887407" lon="12.476531">
        <ele>14.158488</ele>
        <time>2022-09-15T15:53:43+02:00</time>
      </trkpt>

Lat/Long are in the "wrong" format.

The CoordFormat option applies to the ExifTool output.  The format for storing coordinates in XMP is dictated by the specification.

The same goes for the altitude, which is a rational value according to the specification.
