XMP tags not writing to new tifs

[aewindle]

I am attempting to use exiftool to extract metadata from a collection of tifs, save as a csv, and then use that csv to write the metadata to a new set of tifs. The original tifs have EXIF, XMP, and Composite tags.

I am running the following in a jupyter notebook:

cmd = '{} -csv={} -all:all  -overwrite_original {}'.format(exiftoolPath, fullCsvPath, outputPath)
print(cmd)
subprocess.check_call(cmd)

This is working and the new tifs are receiving metadata.. but it seems like only the EXIF and Composite tags and none of the XMP tags. Can someone let me know how to write the XMP tags to the new tifs? I need them for my next steps. Thank you.

Possibly FAQ #9 and fourth paragraph under the -csv option.  If the XMP tags are duplicate names of some EXIF tags, they'll only be written to EXIF unless you have the -a (-duplicates) and -G (-groupNames) options.
