Sony.pmp tag names for Make and Model

[Curtis]

Hi Phil,

I have noticed that the tag names returned for Make and Model returned from your test file Sony.pmp are in the ExifTool g1 group and have a blank table name and id, as shown below,  is this correct?  Seems like they should be in the Sony group or at least the table and id should not be blank, correct?

Thanks!
Curtis

Hi Curtis,

This is a result of generating tags out of thin air.  These tags actually don't exist in the file (the Sony DSC-F1 is the only camera that writes PMP files, which is how ExifTool knows the Make/Model).  I could maybe make entries in the Extra table for them... I'd have to think about this.

Thanks Phil,  I thought it may be something like this since when I looked a the binary file Sony.pmp I could not find any "Sony" or "DSC-F1" text. 

Since these tags obviously can not be written back to the file and they do not come back in the -listx output after reading the Sony.pmp   file and they are a known 'special case', then in my program I will also just handle it as a special case. 

I did notice that of all the 'new' tags created with all of your 148 or so test files these are the only ones put in the Exiftool g1 group or that have a blank table and id.

Let me know if you decide to put them some where else (Sony g1?) in a future exiftool version.

Thanks again!
Curtis
