Orientation in jpegs vs. xmp sidecars

[areohbee]

I got it working, but messily:

To sync orientation from jpeg to raw via xmp sidecar file, I had to:
* read jpeg orientation from exif (ifd0) tag
* write it to xmp-tiff:orientation

Works, but required special handling, and I'm wondering if there is any other tags requiring special handling, or if there was/is a better way to do this.

Overall goal is to be able to sync metadata and/or develop settings raw <--> jpeg, in the context of a Lightroom plugin.

Thx,

Yes, some tags require special handling.  The *.args files in the full distribution are examples for common operations.
