Writing impossible

[emvedeesje]

Hello,
When i want to write something like:
exiftool -UserComment="blabla" 123.jpg

I got this message:

Code Select Expand

Error: [minor] Bad MakerNotes offset for Unknown_0x12aa

Nothing can be written to this picture.
Is there a solution for this?

Michael.

See FAQ 20 and maybe also FAQ 15.

First try adding -m to your command.  If that doesn't work, try the commands in FAQ 20.

@StarGeek

-m did the trick

I was working in version 10.10 in Ubuntu 16.04.2
I only looked in the man-page for instructions, and via yor tip i discover the FAQ.

Thanks very much!

Michael.
