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.

SubSec time in XMP:DateTimeOriginal
Hi, I didn't find out by now how to set the SubSec time in XMP fields. I did it like this -XMP:DateTimeOriginal="2007-10-31T09:25:27.08+01:00" but the ".08" will be ignored. I know, for EXIF data there is a special tag, but for XMP its isn't, isn't it? Best regards Friedemann

Re: SubSec time in XMP:DateTimeOriginal
Hi Friedemann,

I introduced more strict date/time parsing which unfortunately strips off the decimal seconds if it exists. I will fix this. But until then, you can bypass the date/time parsing with the -n option -- this will allow you to do what you want.

Re: SubSec time in XMP:DateTimeOriginal
Hi Phil, using the -n options seems not to work, perhaps I'm doing something wrong. Because I don't want to use the -n for all the commands, I append it by using "-execute" like this: ... -execute -n -XMP:DateTimeOriginal="2007-10-31T09:25:27.08+01:00" The I get error: "Invalid date or time format (should be YYYY:MM:DD HH:MM:SS[+/-HH:MM]) for XMP-exif:DateTimeOriginal Nothing to do." Regards Friedemann

Re: SubSec time in XMP:DateTimeOriginal
Hi Friedemann,

I can't see how I could be any clearer than the error message you got.

Try using the indicated format.

Re: SubSec time in XMP:DateTimeOriginal
Hi Phil, excuse me please, but my intention was to add the subsec time which isn't shown in this "YYYY:MM:DD HH:MM:SS[+/-HH:MM]" - or maybe I'm blind ;-). But I'll try it like this "YYYY:MM:DD HH:MM:SS.SSSS[+/-HH:MM]"... Best regards Friedemann

Re: SubSec time in XMP:DateTimeOriginal
Ah right. That reminds me to update his message with sub-seconds. Thanks.

Re: SubSec time in XMP:DateTimeOriginal
I only want to remind you about this issue ;-) I think it isn't fixed by now, is it? Best regards Friedemann
