mwp:Creator written twice?

[tkaufmann]

Hi,

I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.4 with Exiftool 8.27. The following command

Code Select Expand

/usr/bin/exiftool -use MWG -overwrite_original_in_place -Location='somewhere' -City='mytown' -State='mystate' -Country='mycountry' -Creator='My Name' '/Volumes/Data/tim/_DSC0071.NEF'


results in:

Code Select Expand

exiftool /Volumes/Data/tim/_DSC0071.NEF | grep Creator
Creator               : My Name, My Name

Hi Tim,

Interesting.  The problem is that this command writes both MWG:Creator and XMP:Creator.  I will try to think of some way to keep this from happening, and add a patch if I can.  But until then, try this:

Code Select Expand


/usr/bin/exiftool -overwrite_original_in_place -mwg:Location='somewhere' -mwg:City='mytown' -mwg:State='mystate' -mwg:Country='mycountry' -mwg:Creator='My Name' '/Volumes/Data/tim/_DSC0071.NEF'

Hi Tim,

I have figured out how to patch this problem so the command line you were trying to use will have the expected results.  So this will be fixed with exiftool 8.29 or later.

Thanks for the report.
