XMP custom tags - Adobe CQ5

[chrisma]

I have a larger number of files which I would like to prepare with exiftool before importing into CQ5 DAM

All tags work fine - except "-xmp-cq:tags=..."

exiftool  "-xmp-cq:tags=railway:Operator/DB, railway:Class/DB/38.10" ..\tempo\64015340.JPG
Warning: Sorry, xmp-cq:tags doesn't exist or isn't writable
Nothing to do.

I understand that I need a config file for this custom XMP extension - so I manually set tags in CQ5 to _one_ file, exported this file and used exiftool to analyze the written XMP structure:

exiftool -xmp -b ..\tempo\64015340.JPG

The part which I need to build a custom config file is pretty much at the end of that list: <cq:tags>
Structure seems to be simple - bag and line

This is my config file

##
print "Custom ExifTool config loaded!\n";
%Image::ExifTool::UserDefined = (
    # XMP tags may be added to existing namespaces:
    'Image::ExifTool::XMP::xmp' => {
        tags => { Writable => 'lang-alt' },
        cq => { List => 'Bag' },
    },
);
1; #end


Trying again to set custom XMP ...

exiftool -config day2.cnf "-xmp-cq:tags=railway:Operator/DB, railway:Class/DB/38.10" ..\tempo\64015340.JPG
Custom ExifTool config loaded!
Warning: Tag 'xmp-cq:Tags' does not exist
Nothing to do.


obviously the config file is loaded but I did something wrong.

Is there anybody who did this before and who can point me to the right direction ?
Or is there an option to dump a config file just from the exported image (which has the custom structure already included which I need to specify when writing into this extension) ?

Your XMP-cq tags are in a different namespace, just like the XMP-xxx namespace in the example config file.  You should be able to get this working like you want by following this example and changing all "xxx" to "cq".

Thanx, Phil - it is working now

Here is the config file (if somebody is interested):

##
print "Custom ExifTool config day5.cfg loaded!\n";
%Image::ExifTool::UserDefined = (
    # new XMP namespaces (ie. xxx) must be added to the Main XMP table:
    'Image::ExifTool::XMP::Main' => {
        cq => { # <-- must be the same as the NAMESPACE prefix
            SubDirectory => {
                TagTable => 'Image::ExifTool::UserDefined::cq',
                # (see the definition of this table below)
            },
        },
        # add more user-defined XMP namespaces here...
    },
);

%Image::ExifTool::UserDefined::cq = (
    GROUPS => { 0 => 'XMP', 1 => 'XMP-cq', 2 => 'Image' },
    NAMESPACE => { 'cq' => 'http://www.day.com/jcr/cq/1.0' },
    WRITABLE => 'string',
    tags => { List => 'Bag' },
);


command-line looks like this:

exiftool -config day5.cfg "-xmp-cq:tags=properties:orientation/landscape" "-xmp-cq:tags=properties:style/color" OEG_TW55_1955.JPG
Custom ExifTool config day5.cfg loaded!

Uploading picture into CQ5 shows these tags are set

For now I am happy .. case solved  - BR Chris
