Good evening,
I would like to request advice or support with
XnView MP Linux, Version 1.3.1 64bits (Oct 12 2022), Libformat version 7.126
on Linux Mint 20.3 Una 64-bit, MATE 1.26.0, Kernel Linux 5.4.0-132-generic x86_64
Have to admit, that I am not soooo deeply into Linux - more or less playing around on a secondary laptop. So please be patient with me.
I would like to use the included exiftool (v12.25) for modifying xmp-dc:subject and xmp-lr:hierarchicalsubject.
Under "tools-open with-configure program" I added "/opt/XnView/AddOn/exiftool" and then under parameters, added something like
"-overwrite_original -k -xmp-dc:subject<iptc:keywords".
When I try to use that on a photo with e.g. IPTC data in it, it should get copied to xmp-dc:subject, right?
But in my case, that does not lead to anything. Means, nothing happens.
Not sure, if this XnView-related or a Linux-related problem.
Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Re: Problems with exiftool under Linuxmint Mate 20
ExifTool is provided for Windows as a stand-alone program: exiftool.exe . It is then easy to use.
But for Linux, I don't know how ExifTool should be used, if it needs to be installed, and if it needs a library (perl ?)
I hope that a Linux user will be able to answer you.
And your parameters are correct

Thanks for your quick answer, michel038!
Yes, but maybe it needs to be installed system-wide.
Any other hints are much appreciated.
Thought about this, as well. On the other hand, I can use the standalone exiftool in /opt/XnView/AddOn, when calling directly from the commandline.

For parameters, you should perhaps use single quotes

Re: Problems with exiftool under Linuxmint Mate 20
tried single quotes around the complete term...
as well as around each parameter
without luck
Maybe exiftool needs to be accessible system-wide or a "rights-problem"
Too much of a noob...
Code: Select all
'-overwrite_original -k -xmp-dc:subject<iptc:keywords'
Code: Select all
'-overwrite_original' '-k' '-xmp-dc:subject<iptc:keywords'

Another way :
Select photos
Tools>Metadata>Transfer
"Add "
Select XMP Subject as a target
select IPTC Keywords as source
Apply ...
