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.

Wrong syntax with tagsfromfile?
exiftool -q -q -overwrite_original -tagsfromfile "$ORIGINAL" -EXIF:CreateDate ... -MakerNotes:Dynam +icRangeExpansion "$FILE"


I use the above code within a script, so there could be a bug in my script. I want to ask, if this code is ok. I see the date, but not the DynamicRangeExpansion. "$ORIGINAL" is a jpg-file, where I copied all makernotes with a similar syntax from a K20D-PEF-file.

The code shows a + in DynamicRangeExpansion. Probably a bug with the forum.software. It is 1 word in my script and ... means that there are a lot of other fields.

The forum inserts a red "+" for a continued line.

You can only edit the value of DynamicRangeExpansion if the tag already exists. This is true for all makernote tags. The structure of the makernotes must be preserved to avoid confusing the OEM software, so makernote tags can not be added or deleted individually.
