I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

no writeable tags found - <filename>.x3f
Hi Phil,
normally I succeed transferring exif-data between image-files but for the file-type Sigma-X3F I don't.

Displaying the exif-information works well using this command:
exiftool -a -u -g1 img110500.x3f
Of course, it perfectly displays the tag: 'DateTimeOriginal' among all tags available.

But I don't succeed copying this exiftag -DateTimeOriginal to the converted TIF-File with this command:
exiftool -tagsfromfile img110500.x3f -exif:DateTimeOriginal img110500.tif

I'd assume this may be caused by Sigma not really conforming to standards.
I hope my assumption is wrong and that you've got a simple solution for this dilemma.

I was thinking of reading the 'datetimeoriginal' and writing it to 'file-list.txt' with a header like '$filename/$datetimeoriginal', listing each filename with its unique 'datetimeoriginal'.
In a second step I'd use the file-list.txt and read the data to be put into the corresponding tif-file.
I guess that might be a complicated workaround (? ), but still, I am not succeeding with the proper syntax.
Your advice is highly appreciated, thanks.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
with kind regards, Hans.
