I have thousands of photos that have these tags used (set by Windows Photo Gallery):
Location Created Country Name
Location Created Province State
Location Created City
Location Created Sublocation
AFAIK, there fields are part of the IPTC Extension Location data (rather than form the IPTC Core).
I am moving my Photos into a new management software product called "Daminion". It seems that Daminion does not "see" the above fields. Instead, it gets "place" information from the following:
IPTC:Country, IPTC:State, IPTC:City, IPTC:SubLocation,
If my analysis is correct, I need to replicate the Data from the "Location Created" set of fields to somewhere in this latter set of fields {the four "IPTC:..... fields looks to be the most obvious].
Is this something I can do with EXIFTOOL?
Can anyone help me with the "how" of this task. Exiftool is a bit daunting.....
Many thanks
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
To copy to the tags you can use the following command exiftool "-IPTC:City<LocationCreatedCity" "-XMP:City<LocationCreatedCity" "-IPTC:Country-PrimaryLocationName<LocationCreatedCountryName" "-XMP:Country<LocationCreatedCountryName" "-IPTC:Province-State<LocationCreatedProvinceState" "-XMP:State<LocationCreatedProvinceState" "-IPTC:Sub-location<LocationCreatedSublocation" "-XMP:Location<LocationCreatedSublocation" FilesOrDirs
This will copy the location data from the LocationCreated data structure to the individual tags in both IPTC (Legacy) and XMP (IPTC Core).
The IPTC (Legacy) tags are the oldest standard and can be a bit limited at times, as they technically have a maximum number of characters that they can hold, though that limit is ignored by many programs. It is probably the most commonly supported standard. The XMP (IPTC Core) tags are newer and more flexable, but not as commonly supported in older software. These tags are actually now considered Legacy by the IPTC Photo Metadata Standard, though they aren't depricated yet. Windows Photo Gallery was apparently writing the newest standard, which is a data structure that allows the similar data to be kept together similar to an individual database record. The LocationCreated structure isn't commonly supported at all, though Adobe products do support it.
