Hello,

first of all, big applause for Phil for making this great tool, that is saving my time all the time :).

Now, my problem is this: I am trying to strip some JPGs of metadata except very few chosen ones and all is great until "title" comes.
I could not find any "title" tag on the official tag list website so I tried to list all image metadata using exiftool. In the list, there was a "Title" with correctly shown title of my image.

So I wrote this:
exiftool -charset iptc=utf8 -iptc:codedcharacterset=utf8 -all= -P -overwrite_original -tagsfromfile @ -Title -r folder_with_images and launch it.

Problem was, that the "title" was no more present where it used to be in the original photo (i.e. in the IPTC -> APP13 ->2#005). Exiftool has no problem in finding "title" in IPTC, but in the new file, the "title" was present in XMP under <dc:title>.

Is there any way to put it where it was (in IPTC->APP13)?

Thank you very much. :)

This is explained in some detail in FAQ 9, although I don't understand why you say that "Title" is an IPTC tag, because it isn't.  If by "2#005", you mean the IPTC Application Record and tag ID 5, then this is called "ObjectName".
