Extract all xmp binary data if the data is spread over multiple sections

[spitfire_ch]

First of all, thanks for creating and supporting this awesome tool which I have been using for many years, now!

In my current project, I am trying to read all xmp data from the original file and then apply it to the target file. For that, I use the binary format:

• exiftool -xmp -b source.jpg
• save the output in a file temp.xmp
• exiftool -tagsfromfile temp.xmp -xmp:all target.jpg

That works well for most images. But there are cases with two xmp sections, e.g. if a picture is shot with an iPhone or a Xiaomi phone in portrait mode, the phone itself adds the first section - before the EXIF data. If I rate or label the picture in Adobe Bridge, another section is added - after the EXIF data.

The above commands only extract the first xmp section. But I am mostly interested in the second xmp section (which contains the rating and label). How do I do that properly?

Thanks a lot for your help!

-> extracts the label but not the rating, and cannot be applied to the target image

Can you provide an example image?

Also, does adding the -a (-duplicates) option help?

[spitfire_ch]

As a matter of fact, it does, -a does the trick! Thank you so much!!
