MakerNoteUnknownText and Custom XMP namespace

[blad]

Hello

I have a DNG file which has a custom XMP namespace inside its maker notes. Using a two-step approach, i am able to get the tags i want:

exiftool -b -MakerNoteUnknownText IMX226.dng > custom.xmp
exiftool -BurstId custom.xmp

Is there a way to do this in one command? The ultimate goal would be display the DNG, EXIF, XMP tags together with ALL maker note custom XMP tags within EXIFToolGui.

Kind regards
blad

Hi Blad,

You should be able to create a user-defined tag to decode the unknown maker notes, but it will be tricky.  If you send me a sample I'll be able to help more (philharvey66 at gmail.com).  What software produced this file?

Hi Blad,

I got your sample.  The attached config file should do what you want with this command:

exiftool -config MakerNoteCustom.config FILE

To use this with ExifToolGUI, rename it to ".ExifTool_config" and place it in your home directory.  (See the sample config file for more information about using config files.)
