i use the following string to set some meta info
exif -overwrite_original -"Copyright Notice"="company name" *.jpg

it says 1 image update however when i do a
exiftool -a -u *.jpg the catagory "Copyright Notice" is blank.

if i set this catagory directly using irfanview and then do a
exiftool -a -u *.jpg the catagory shows the correct info.

am i missing something?

thanks,
art

"Copyright Notice" is not a tag name because it contains a space.
You need to use "CopyrightNotice".  Use the "-s" option to see
the tag names when extracting information, they aren't always
the same as the descriptions.

Also, you can use the "-v2" option to see what is happening when
you write the image:

Code:

% exiftool -overwrite_original -"Copyright Notice"="company name" -v2 a.jpg
Writing MIE-Doc:Copyright
Writing PostScript:Copyright
Writing PNG:Copyright
Writing XMP-tiff:Copyright if tag exists
Writing XMP-xmpDM:Copyright if tag exists
Writing IFD0:Copyright
