Export large arrays to xmp file

[alexmerkel]

I'm trying to generate xmp sidecar files from DNG images. When using the command

Code Select Expand

exiftool -ext dng -o %d%f.xmp -r DIR I get the following warnings:

Code Select Expand

Warning: [Minor] Not decoding some large array(s). Ignore minor errors to decode - DIR/IMG.dng

From searching through the forum, I read that this is due to exiftool ignoring large arrays by default for performance reasons.
But if I don't care about the performance, is there a way to force exiftool to export everything? When rendering the image to JPEG using the newly generated sidecar file, the resulting picture is visually different, so the skipped arrays (Profile Look Table Data, Profile Hue Sat Map Data 1, & Profile Hue Sat Map Data 2) are important in my cases.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex

You can ignore minor warnings with the -m option.

Hi Phil,

thanks for your reply. From my understanding, the -m option would only suppress the message and not instruct exiftool to actually write the large arrays to the XMP file. Is that not the case?

Best regards,

That is not the case.  The message says "Ignore minor errors to decode" [the large arrays].
