My camera also saving of file number, but I have to create universal core of system naming.

And please, someone answer my question:
If I create my tag in the configuration file, no program will be able to see it and I will not worry about the impact of other programs on my tag?

Your question is too general.  You don't need to worry if you are talking about XMP metadata, but may need to worry for other kinds of metadata.  XMP is designed to be extensible.  Other types of metadata, not so much.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

So tag your own it is best to create in XMP-group of tags?
And the only conflict is if someone else comes up with the same tag?

Phil Harvey

There will be no conflict in XMP as long as you choose a unique namespace.

I understand what the uniqueness depends on me.
Thanks for answer.
