Hi Phil,

I would expect both commands below would give the same output, but:
exiftool -s -GPS:All photo.jpg -only GPSxxxRef tags shown (no tags which hold coordinates)
and
exiftool -s -a -GPS:All photo.jpg -complete GPS content shown (as expected).

Can you explain, please?

Hi Bogdan,

You're going to slap your head when I remind you about FAQ number 3.

...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 ($).

Hi Phil,

Now it's time for me to apologize. I mean... am I becoming senile or what? How embarrassing.

(personal notice: never ever ask about -a behaviour! -otherwise, Phil might stick your posts on top, so everybody can see them.)

:)  Makes me happy to know that I'm not the only one that does things like this.
