Hello, How do I pass in non-ASCII characters through a parameter file? Do I encode the entire file in UTF-8? Or do I encode it in ASCII and use some kind of "escape character and a number" notation to pass the Unicode code points into the -TAG= parameters? When I properly feed Unicode into exiftool, is it going to take care of all the intricacies of byte ordering, prefixing UserComment with UNICODE 0x00, etc.? Or do I have to prepare the parameters somehow before feeding them into ExifTool? How tolerant are applications with regards to non-ASCII characters that are put into tags that officially only support ASCII? I see German umlauts in these tags sometimes, and am not aware of any problems, but strictly speaking Umlauts are not ASCII, but 8859-1 or 8859-15. Thanks for any pointers, Tilo
