I used the ExiftoolGUI v4.02 (+Exiftool 8.4) to insert Title in photography
ExiftoolGUI / XMP / Image - Title E.g. "Koščové žľaby"
program to be entered correctly Title=Koščové žľaby

if I use cmd exiftool -Latin -Title="Koščové žľaby" PA273906.jpg
title entered incorrectly Title=Košeové ž3aby

What is the command syntax for ExifTool who is entered correctly  as ExiftoolGUI ??

parameter -Latin correctly entered Slovak special characters "ýáíéžš" and incorrectly "čľť"


I want to insert names into the TITLE I saved in txt (TXT encoding ANSI)

she could give me the first question but it would be better if the Exiftool can import names in the form
txt file contents
QuoteStredná dolina 350m
Holý vrch 645m, výhľad
Jankov vŕšok 533m, pomník SNP

Unfortunately some of the characters in "Koščové žľaby" do not exist in the Windows Latin1 character set.  Your best alternative is to enter them in UTF-8.  See FAQ number 18 for help with this in Windows.  Other alternatives are to read the tag values individually from a file (with "-tag<=FILE") or using HTML encoding and the -h option.

Parsing a formatted text file can be done with a simple Perl script, but not via the exiftool script directly.  There are some example threads of perl scripts to do this (search for "#!/usr/bin/perl" to find posts with Perl scripts).
