Different behaviour of GPSLatitudeRef and GPSDestLatitudeRef

Hello Phil,

I started to play with geolocalisation with my C++ application.
For GPS tags GPSLatitudeRef, GPSLongitudeRef, GPSDestLatitudeRef and GPSDestLongitudeRef
I have seen that they behave different when being written.

Documentation for e.g. GPSLatitudeRef says:
(ExifTool will also accept a number when writing this tag, positive for east longitudes or negative for west, or a string containing E, East, W or West)

From a developer point of view it would be wonderful when they behave identical or at least when
GPSDestLatitudeRef and GPSDestLongitudeRef would also accept a number.

Yes I could re-define these tags in a private .config file,
but I think this behaviour should be availbale for all.

Thanks for your comments
Best regards
herb

Thanks herb.  Yes, I noticed this when I made this post, and had already fixed it.  The Dest tags will behave the same as the others in 13.04.

...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 ($).
