Hi Phil,
First off, thanks for an awesome tool! You've done a great job of managing the complexity with easy options. That's hard to do well!
I have a similar problem as this poster. I have a lot of images stored from an older Fuji FinePix 601z camera that I'm trying to organize. It's finding corruption in the header & declining to write to the tag header:
$ exiftool -m -Software=Fred test_bak.jpg
Warning: Truncated MakerNotes directory - test_bak.jpg
Error: Bad format (1792) for ExifIFD entry 19 - test_bak.jpg
0 image files updated
1 files weren't updated due to errors
I tried a similar process to what you did above - make a copy, remove exif tags, copy exif tags, an
+d continue. Unfortunately, it seems to copy the corruption, and the error remains. Do you have any
+ suggestions?
Here's the relevant output:
$ copy test.jpg test_bak.jpg
$ exiftool -exif:all= test_bak.jpg
1 image files updated
$ exiftool -m -Software=Fred test_bak.jpg
1 image files updated
This implies the clearing of tags removed the problem.
$ exiftool -exif:all= test_bak.jpg
1 image files updated
$ exiftool -tagsfromfile test.jpg test_bak.jpg
Warning: Bad MakerNotes directory - test.jpg
1 image files updated
$ exiftool -m -Software=Fred test_bak.jpg
Warning: Truncated MakerNotes directory - test_bak.jpg
Error: Bad format (1792) for ExifIFD entry 19 - test_bak.jpg
0 image files updated
1 files weren't updated due to errors
This implied to me that the corruption got copied over too. :(
Here's some more verbose output in case it helps:
