Hello all,
I wish to known if the module can read a single file to write all exif or xmp tags,
and which format I can use : xml, xmp, txt, etc ?

Thanks

See the other thread "Script to write text file content to exif as keywords". I didn't try it, but I sea no reason, why this shouldn't work with different tags.

It is possible to use a TXT file, but usually a bit of scripting is necessary
because TXT files don't have a standard format (unless you put it in the
format of a -@ ARGFILE).  So the preferred technique would be
to put the information in an XMP file -- copying tags from XMP to JPG
is easy.
