iptcext LocationName tag

[neebah]

How do I set this tag.  I've tried many iterations of the tag name.

See here for a complete list of XMP iptcExt tags you can write.

So I've tried "-Xmp-ipctExt:LocationCreatedLocationName=test" and nothing happened.  It is writable as lang-alt.

If it's writeable as lang-alt, I think you need to specify the language, or -x-default for the default.
Have you tried that already?

[neebah]

I've tried that.  Still nothing

Here is my message Warning: Tag 'LocationCreatedLocationName-x-default' is not supported or has a bad language code

and here is what I'm typing in

exiftool -Xmp-iptcExt:LocationCreatedLocationName-x-default+=test test.jpg

So I've tried "-Xmp-ipctExt:LocationCreatedLocationName=test" and nothing happened.  It is writable as lang-alt.

Something should have happened:  You should have got an error message saying the tag is not supported.

The problem that you spelt it "IPCT", but is should be "IPTC".

[XMP-iptcExt]   Location Created Location Name  : test

You don't need to specify the default language, but your last command should have worked because IPTC was spelt properly:

Code Select Expand

> exiftool -Xmp-iptcExt:LocationCreatedLocationName-x-default+=test a.jpg
    1 image files updated

Note that you don't specify the default language when reading back.

Okay now that I've corrected my own stupidity I'm still getting an error

>exiftool -Xmp-iptcExt:LocationCreatedLocationName=test a.jpg
Warning: Tag 'LocationCreatedLocationName' is not supported
Nothing to do.

[Phil Harvey]

If you're still getting the error, then I suggest updating to a more recent version of ExifTool.  The current version is 10.37.

Thanks.  I didn't know that tag was a recent change.  I was using 10.33
