| Re: Adding additional unknown tags to existing images |
|
Hello,
I just discovered this new module and the concept of what it could do is fantastic. I'm trying to put it into "production" in my environment but i'm running into some difficulties. I would like to add custom tags to files. Here is what i've done so far but infortunately i get the "Tag 'CustomerName' does not exist" error.
I built a .ExifTool_config file that i put in both the EXIFTOOL_HOME directory and the dir in which i am running the script from (just to make sure - this is running on linux).
Here is the content of the .ExifTool_config file :
%Image::ExifTool::UserDefined::myCompany = (
GROUPS => { 0 => 'XMP', 1 => 'XMP-xxx', 2 => 'Image' },
NAMESPACE => { 'myCompany' => 'http://ns.myname.com/xxx/1.0/' },
WRITABLE => 'string',
# replace "NewXMPxxxTag1" with your own tag name (ie. "MyTag")
CustomerName => { },
NewXMPxxxTag2 => { Groups => { 2 => 'Author' } },
NewXMPxxxTag3 => { List => 'Bag' },
);
# The %Image::ExifTool::UserDefined hash defines new tags to be
# added to existing tables.
%Image::ExifTool::UserDefined = (
# new XMP namespaces (ie. XMP-xxx) must be added to the Main XMP table:
'Image::ExifTool::XMP::Main' => {
myCompany => {
SubDirectory => {
TagTable => 'Image::ExifTool::UserDefined::myCompany',
},
},
},
);
And the script i'm running to write a new value to that tag on a file is the following :
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Image::ExifTool;
my $exifTool = new Image::ExifTool;
$exifTool->SetNewValue(CustomerName => "Bla Inc");
$exifTool->WriteInfo('/raid1/Jobs/newCompany/Jacobs_018.tif');
Any kind of help would be appreciated - I'd really like to get this module working.
Thank you in advance.
