11:14 Exiv2 Forum: The "volatile" Tags vs the "smart" Tags

Andreas, I've been taking another look at the "copy one tag value to another" concept with which the last thread I started finished up. I remembered from some earlier mistakes I'd made just adding single tag values that there are both tags tha...

08:38 Exiv2 Forum: RE: "Pulling out" the value of one IPTC tag?

Andreas, Maybe without knowing it I've chanced upon a variation of "metacopy" that's worth coding and compiling, at a user's prerogative, for copying values from one field to another. It would certainly take the need to know shell scripting out...

Hank, If you have the time to do it, please proceed with it. Myself, I'm finding it monotonous to rely on "2>/dev/null" to suppress errors on the command line or in shell scripts. It's only a redirection, after all. And in some scripts, it gets...

Andreas, I think I have it figured out. If I do, and this tests well with the same or similar results with other users' files, there should be no need to tweak the _g_ option. The "meat" of any data returned by -g <tagname> _file.jpg_ consis...

Just FYI: I didn't write it. I got it here: http://www.controlledvocabulary.com/imagedatabases/iptc_core_mapped.pdf I suppose I'm just saving the lot of you the step of navigating off-site to get it. Not that it would take more than a second...

19:32 Exiv2 Forum: Submitted for perusal: The IPTC Core "Map" of Applications.

I'm not sure this is the latest one. Acrobat 9 Reader indicates it was created 17.07.2009.09.37.18 (why not keep my hand in and use the exif date format?). I mentioned this in one thread already, and thought it would be courteous if the folks who ...
