Re: Linebreak in 0x010e Image Description
I use linux. The description is imported from a textfile with a bash script. Every line in the textfile contains the description of 1 photo. So I need a description in 1 line like
"photo1,line1\line2"

If I create a variable
descr="photo1,line1\line2"

and use it with exiftool the description field shows the backslash with exiftool and not a linebreak.

I would consider your 2nd option, if I can't get it work with your 1st suggestion. Thanks!
