how to display proper rational64u values

[burkhard]

Hi,

I'm trying to get exiftool to print the true rational64u values stored in an image file, i.e. , the actual numerator and denominator stored in the file.

A value of 2499/1000000 in the ExposureTime tag either gets printed as 1/400 (which is ok for ordinary use), or else as a floating point value if I disable print conversion (-n option). However, neither prints the actual values stored.

Is there a way to print the fraction proper?

Thanks

Burkhard.

Hi Burkhard,

You can see the original raw values with the -v option (in hex too, with -v3), but this does a verbose dump of the entire file, so it may not be that convenient if you are just looking for the value of one tag.

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, an option to extract the values from selected tags only would be preferable, but since I don't need this very often, the -v option will do for me.

Cheers

Burkhard.
