-EXIF:ImageDescription tag has EXIF as an explicit indicator of a group.  What is the group for JPEG -comment tag and how do I figure it out for other tags from https://exiftool.org/TagNames/index.html?

Phil Harvey

The JPEG comment is in the File group.  The easiest way to figure this out is to write a comment to a file then read it back with the -G or -G1 option.
...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 ($).

When I want to search all the Tag Name pages, I use Google search with a Site: option.  For example
site:exiftool.org/TagNames DateTimeOriginal
* Did you read FAQ #3 and use the command listed there?
* Please use the Code button for exiftool code/output.
 
* Please include your OS, Exiftool version, and type of file you're processing (MP4, JPG, etc).
