How can one do this in "-@ argfile" format? If I want to use the following:
exiftool -iptc:caption-abstract="aaa\
bbb" img.jpg
it only works from the command line. If I put:
-iptc:caption-abstract="aaa\
bbb"
in /tmp/argfile, and run:
exiftool -@ /tmp/argfile img.jpg
it gives an error. The second line is unrecognized.
What about "-iptc:caption-abstract=<FILE"? Well, that doesn't support adding lines. I can't do "-iptc:caption-abstract+=<FILE". Whereas with "-@ argfile" I can do +=. I'm really wary of having to extract the data, then munge it myself, then reinsert it. And generating shell escapes is always nutty.
