How to use multiple tags, but specify group only once?
Hi Phil,

Inside metadata, there may be many tags using equal tag names, but reside in different (sub)groups. So, to force reading desired tags from particular group only, I use (for example):

exiftool -f -S -exif:TagName1 -exif:TagName2 -exif:TagName3 photo.jpg
-which is not very practical when dealing with a lot of tags.

Now, is it possible to do something like:

exiftool -f -S -exif:(TagName1,TagName2,TagName3) photo.jpg
-without some script usage?

Wish you Happy New Year,
Bogdan

Hi Bogdan,

In Unix, the shell will do this for you using your exact command, but with curly brackets:

exiftool -f -S -exif:{TagName1,TagName2,TagName3} photo.jpg

But I don't know if such a feature exists if you are using the windows command shell. Exiftool doesn't have any built-in feature to do this.
