Re: Adding additional unknown tags to existing images
I installed the latest version of ExifTool and it works great now :) Thank you Phil. If i may ask you another question : when i write a new tag or a new value to a file in the following way:
exiftool Jacobs_018.tif -CompanyName=BlaInc
it takes a few seconds depending on the size of the file. I tried it on a 600MB file and it takes well over a minute.
[root@dev MODELS]# time exiftool large_file.tif -CompanyName=BlaInc found it! 1 image files updated real 1m29.322s user 0m7.330s sys 0m18.940s
so the qestion is : can i run exiftool in a way that's more optimized? (reading the XMP info is very fast). Thank you for your help, your answers so far and this module in general which is very valuable for what i'm trying to do. Ben
