Hi,

I have XMP file, containing:

I can copy GPSLatitude from Src.XMP to Dst.JPG, for example:

-but when doing this, only Exif:GPSLatitude is copied from XMP. How do I copy "N" (in this case) into Exif:GPSLatitudeRef tag?

Just a though in this regard: if at all, then usually all GPS tags are needed to be copied. In such case, it would be great having something similar to "AllDates"... something like:

Thanks for answering.

Thank you very much -exactly what I needed :-)

I had forgotten many of the details of these conversions since I looked into them years ago. (Perhaps I should document some of this.) But I forgot about the XMP:GPSDateTime difference, so the Date/Time stamps must be handled specially.

# translate from XMP to EXIF GPS
exiftool "-gps:all<all" "-gpsdatestamp<gpsdatetime" "-gpstimestamp<gpsdatetime" ...

Note that exiftool will be smart and copy the date part of GPSDateTime to GPSDateStamp, and the time part to GPSTimeStamp (a bit of magic here).

# or you could specify the "all" tags more explicitly to reduce the work that exiftool must to to check all tag names:
exiftool "-gps:all<xmp-exif:all" "-gps:all<composite:all" "-gpsdatestamp<gpsdatetime" "-gpstimestamp<gpsdatetime" ...

# or to copy from EXIF GPS to XMP:
exiftool "-xmp:all<gps:all" "-xmp:gpslatitude<gpslatitude" "-xmp:gpslongitude<gpslongitude" "-gpsdatetime" ...

Here, the GPSLatitude, GPSLongitude and GPSDateTime must be copied separately since these tags are different format in the XMP but are provided as Composite tags for this specific purpose.
