[import/export] XMP:VRAE to CSV > CSV to JPG
mrtngrsbch opened this issue · 2 comments
Hi,
The Import and Export metadata functions I think is one of the most important tasks, although it can be complex.
Evidently this point needs a more detailed review although, without a doubt, many specific tasks can be leave to ExifTool.
What I need:
- Export the XMP metadata (xmp:all, xmp:isadg, xmp:vrae) to .csv & .xmp
- Import XMP metadata (xmp:all, xmp:isadg, xmp:vrae) to .csv to .jpg (or other)
Why is this important?
Editing metadata is tedious and the most practical method I know is to do it in a spreadsheet (where I can use formulas) and with OpenRefine, to do massive edits.
@hvdwolf, please could you tell me where I am wrong, no doubt you have been through this issue before.
To my understanding this problem is in ExifTool > I have searched as much as possible in your forum and I don't think I can find the good answer.
I export to CSV [-xmp-vrae:all] but it exports ALL XMP (not too distressing yet).
exiftool -xmp-vrae:all -a -csv vrae_exiftool_example.jpg > vrae_exiftool_example.csv
I import CSV to JPG (previously I modify the first cell of the CSV file: "vrae_exiftool_example.jpg" > "222.jpg")
exiftool -csv="vrae_exiftool_example.csv" "222.jpg"
Result = NOK

Hi,
I missed this completely and already since 4th of February. I am very sorry.
exiftool can export all tags it finds in an image, but it can't import unknown, non-standard tags.
Exiftool needs the vrae config file to be able to import vrae tags.
Please try with exiftool -config "/path/to/config_file" -csv="vrae_exiftool_example.csv" "222.jpg"
Hi,
Now that I read this post again I wonder in what state of mind I was in... because the answer you have given me I have known since the beginning of the config file Phil's refusal to incorporate it into ExifTool.
Sorry and thanks for your answer. I'm sure it was a day when I was distressed ;-)
