Hi Eddie, There is a "donate" button available from the ExifTool home page. Here is your ".ExifTool_config" file: %Image::ExifTool::UserDefined::Biology = (

# The %Image::ExifTool::UserDefined hash defines new tags to be added

%Image::ExifTool::UserDefined = (

Once you have installed the ".ExifTool_config" file in your home directory or the exiftool directory, then you can use the following command to write all tags in the "my.args" file: exiftool -@ my.args DIR
Where DIR is a directory containing your images. "my.args" must be in the
current directory for this to work.
Note that in general it is better to use existing tags if possible instead of defining your own. This way, other software may be able to understand some of the information you have added. So I would suggest looking through the list of XMP tags to try to use as many as possible instead of defining your own. Here, I have done this for one tag, and used XMP:Subject instead of Keywords since this is the accepted place to store keywords in XMP. Also, I have made one tag (Phylogeny) a list-type tag, which stores the values separately but combines them into a comma-delimited list when reading. You may want to do this for other tags too because it allows you to add and delete single items from a list much more easily. This is the way that XMP:Subject is defined as well. - Phil |
