Time duplicated in ExifTool outpug

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.

Hello, for images which were taken with a Sony DSC-H9 I get the following output for the creation date: "Date/Time Created: 2008:07:12 15:00:43+02:00 15:00:43+02:00" The time is duplicated e.g. with the parameters: "-all" and "-time:all". If I use "-exif:all", "-xmp:all" or "-iptc:all" the output is ok. I've tested the same with images from a Canon photo, and there all was normal. Is this a bug in ExifTool or a bug in the Sony firmware? If you need a sample image please let me know it. Regards Heiko

Thanks for pointing out this problem. DateTimeCreated is a composite tag which joins DateCreated and TimeCreated, but in your case the XMP:DateCreated already contains a time (which is valid according to the spec), so the time appears twice. I will add a check in the code to avoid this problem for the next release.
