Request: option to force exiftool to rewrite file without metdata changes

[Hayo Baan]

Hi Phil, it would be nice if you could force exiftool into rewriting a file, but then without making any metadata changes. This would be useful e.g. if your images have wrong maker note offsets. You could then use the -F option and rewrite the file, without altering any of the other metadata.

Hi Hayo,

Try this:

exiftool -forcewrite=fixbase -F DIR

(The Extra tags provide lots of cool features.)
