PLUS 1.2.3

[Jom]

I noticed the version difference on this page — https://exiftool.org/TagNames/PLUS.html#XMP
"PLUS (Picture Licensing Universal System) License Data Format 1.2.1 XMP tags."

and this one — http://ns.useplus.org/LDF/ldf-XMPSpecification
"PLUS Version 1.2.3"

Does it require an update of ExifTool?

I went down the list and exiftool supports all the tags listed.  There might be a more subtle change though.

What is the best way to report updates?
To create each time a new topic, it seems to me, superfluous.
Is there a common theme?

[StarGeek]

Reporting here like you did is the best way.

There doesn't seem to be any real changes.  This link compares the page between June 2016, 1.2.1, and December 2021, 1.2.3.  Some reorganization of the numbering with the newer version grouping items rather that linear number i.e. 2.1 Licensee ID vs 3. Licensee ID.

Still looking it over for any other major changes.

I've just tried to setup a ":PLUS:" panel layout for my application.
It seems that ExifTool 12.39 (my version) is missing these two tags:

Licensor Image Title    Title, name or other descriptive reference associated with the image.
Creation Date    The date on which the image was first created.

based on the list of fields I see on this page: https://www.useplus.com/useplus/license.asp ("Image Info" section).

[StarGeek]

Look closer at the standard.  Neither of those are in the Plus names space
30. Licensor Image Title XMP Property    dc:title
36. Creation Date XMP Property    photoshop:DateCreated

The tags you're looking for are XMP-dc:Title and XMP-photoshop:DateCreated.

Ah, thanks. Did not see that, just the page I've linked to, which apparently mixes tags from different namespaces.
Well, problem solved, thanks again
