Problems with iptc_set 118

[Peter2]

I use

Code: Select all

-iptc_set 118 "MyTestString"

which should be http://www.exiv2.org/iptc.html

Code: Select all

0x0076    118    Iptc.Application2.Contact    String    No    Yes    0    128    Identifies the person or organisation which can provide further background information on the object data.

But analysing it with Exiftool it appears under "Content Location String", exporting it with XnView shows "Location"

Hmmmh - seem to be a problem of Codes ...

What is the right code for "DateCreated": 55 (Dec) or 37 (Hex)?

It seems that I can use Dec-values for "100; 101; 103; 105; 115; 116; 12; 120; 55; 92; "; only "118" (dec - Contact) is converted to 27 (Hex - ContentLocationName)

When I Use "-iptc_set 27", then it creates "Contact".

Bug or Feature?

It uses the decimal value of field
You can set Contact with '-iptc_set 118'?? 27 is 'content location name'

...You can set Contact with '-iptc_set 118'?? 27 is 'content location name'

Yes. As written above, I use

Code: Select all

'-iptc_set 118 "John Doe, Neverland"',

and when I open it (with different software) I get:

Code: Select all

ContentLocationName: John Doe, Neverland
