Exiv2

When I modify a Sony .arw raw file (created by a Sony A700), the metadata seem to get messed up and for example bibblepro cannot read the white balance any more.

What I do:

1. Command file with two commands in it:

del Iptc.Application2.ObjectName String
add Iptc.Application2.ObjectName String dsc08146.arw

2. Apply this to a .arw file with

exiv2 -m test.cmd dsc00001.arw

3. Verify that the string got written with

exiftool dsc00001_exiv2.arw | grep dsc

4. Open file with bibblepro. The white balance data is corrupted and not readable by bibblepro any more.

You can download the original file (before modification) for testing from http://dream.lrrl.arch.tu-muenchen.de/~springm/dsc00001.arw
(it is too large for appending to this message)

I would be very grateful if this could get corrected, as my tools to write the gps location into the raw files depends on this functionality.
