You are a Genius! Now it works like a charm, Exiftool overwrites the tag, and Exif Pilot reads it without disappearing! Thank you, Phil!!!!

Phil Harvey

Great!  You should still report this bug to Exif Pilot though.
...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 ($).

Yes, I reported it already...thank you, Phil. Oh, and last question, if you can tell me, i have 200 photos that i want to convert from big endian to little endian, i use this command:
exiftool -all= -tagsfromfile test.jpg -all:all -unsafe -exifbyteorder=little-endian test.jpg
but this is for every single file, a sepperate one....is there any way to convert all of them with one command...and is there a point to add -u (for unknown tags) in this command or it is going to copy them by default... (Sony specific tags)

Phil Harvey

The batch version of this command would be:

exiftool -all= -tagsfromfile @ -all:all -unsafe -exifbyteorder=little-endian -ext jpg DIR

-u doesn't have an effect when writing.  The unknown makernote tags will be copied because the makernotes are copied as a block.  Other unknown/unwritable tags will be dropped.

mmm I tried that command, but it is not working, I mean the exiftool is doing something, but at the end every file kept its byteorder the way it was original. just to clarify, after -tagsfromfile is @ sign, right? i copied the command exactly i think, but not working...if i make it file by file, it is working though.

Add -v3 to see lots of detail about what ExifTool is doing.
