change format of GPS in frm file

[Raffie77]

Hello,

I have this format script:

Code Select Expand


#[HEAD]Filename,FileSize,ImageSize,DateTimeOriginal,Megapixels,Make,Model,Aperture,Shutterspeed,ISO,ExposureCompensation,MeteringMode,WhiteBalance,GPSPosition,Flash,FocalLengthIn35mmFormat,Software
$Filename,$FileSize,$ImageSize,$DateTimeOriginal,$Megapixels,$Make,$Model,f/$Aperture,${Shutterspeed}s,$ISO,$ExposureCompensation,$MeteringMode,$WhiteBalance,$GPSPosition,$Flash,$FocalLengthIn35mmFormat,$Software
#[TAIL]


and the output of the GPSPosition is something like: 00 deg ... N, 6 deg etc
how dow I change this to something like: 52.0000000, 6.000000 notation?

Add -c %.7f to the command for something like "52.0000000 W".  Or -c %+.7f for "-52.0000000".

When I run

exiftool -c %.6f -GPSLatitude=52.300000 -GPSLatitudeRef=52.300000 path\to\image\file

Then right-click on my image->Properties->Details, I get a Latitude with value "52; 17; 60". Instead, I would rather that it show a value of "52.300000". Not sure why this is not working. How can I change this?

Thanks, in advance, for any of your help.

This is just how Windows (I assume) displays the information. It's not something you can change. You would have to alter Windows itself in order to change the display.

The data is stored only one way and it's up to individual programs to decide what format to display it in.
