Hello Phil,

some days ago I started to play with regions; So I also used the acdsee.config file, which is part of the Exiftool full distribution.
In line 214
%Image::ExifTool::UserDefined::ACDSeeRegions = (
    GROUPS => { 0 => 'XMP', 1 => 'XMP-acdsee', 2 => 'Image' },
    NAMESPACE => { 'acdsee-rs' => 'http://ns.acdsee.com/regions/' },
the family-1 group is defined as XMP-acdsee.

I think it should be XMP-acdsee-rs.

Which one is correct?

Thanks for your help in advance
Best regards

You might be right about that, but when I wrote that I never noticed any differences between the output from that config file and the original samples I had.

Have you noticed a problem with it?

Phil will have to comment to be sure, but he's away until next week.
* 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).

Hello StarGeek,

thanks for your comments.
No I do not have any problems with the current acdsee.config file.

But I think the family-1 group should be XMP-acdsee-rs, because
- the used NAMESPACE is "acdsee-rs"
- the MWG regions are in group XMP-mwg-rs

Searching for some examples I found only one and it uses XMP-acdsee-rs as family-1 group.
In addition, for me XMP-acdsee-rs would be an advantage, because in case of copying tags you can copy 2 different groups.

Best regards

Hi Herb,

Yes, it should be XMP-acdsee-rs.  I'll update that in the next release.

It does say this at the top of the config file:

# Description:  This config file defines ACDSee XMP region tags for writing.
#               The following tags are created in the XMP-acdsee-rs group


... but then it doesn't use that group.

...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 ($).
