Saving to .xml

[philbond87]

If I want to save metadata to an XML file is there a way to do it by just saving tags to a file, eg.

Code Select Expand

exiftool -creator='John Doe' -creatorCity='Anytown' -usageRights='some rights' -X > Dir/someFile.xml

or can I only do it by saving the tags from an existing file as an xml file? eg.

Code Select Expand

exiftool -X somefile.jpg > file.xml

Thanks

XML isn't a writable format, so your idea won't work.  But it will work with XMP, which is probably what you want anyway.

Code Select Expand

exiftool -creator='John Doe' -creatorCity='Anytown' -usageRights='some rights' Dir/someFile.xmp
