Edit XMP - XMP CF

Post by herb »

Hello Pierre,

with version 0.99 XnViewMP introduced user-defined fields custom1 to custom10.

I have a *.jpg file - out of camera - with no tag in IPTC-IIM and no tag in XMP.
When I write
- one of these custom-x tags to XMP and
- in options I have selected "XMP, Create/update IPTC-IIM
IPTC-IIM is created with only one tag: CodedCharacterSet

For me it does not make sense to create such "an empty" IPTC group.
This should be avoided.

By the way:
the custom-x tags are written into XMP-Iptc4xmpCore group.
For me it is against the standard of IPTC group.
Why did you not introduce a new XMP-group: e.g.: XMP-XnView ?

Best regards
herb

Hello Pierre,

in addition to the behaviour described in previous post:
Although tag IPTC:CodedCharacterSet is created (writing only CustomFieldX tags)
this IPTC tag is not displayed in IPTC-IIM-tab of information panel.

Best regards

:bugconfirmed: Thanks to your detailed description I can reproduce the problem.

CustomField must be in fwr group (fotoware) and not Iptc4xmpCore

I've created new post

Hi all! Just back on this an read the post...
Yep, the main idea was to use the namespace fwc

fwr is "r" for "reserved"
fwc is "c" for "custom"

see sample (via exiftool)

[XMP:XMP-fwc] Custom Field 1 : hk
[XMP:XMP-fwc] Custom Field 2 : lok

All good!
Q: Should we change the label for that namespace into XMP FWC - as well?

That would make sure which namespace we use...

I guess I found it! It was QuickTime that comes with the old version of Fotostation (#7) that blocked the images ;-)

Deleted QT and "voila"...
Updated QT on 7.7.9 and "voila" again...
So the old QT was the problem.

But I would like to check more software and image systems...
