Feature request : reading and editing a sidecar file #19

Open redhelling21 opened 7 years ago

redhelling21 commented 7 years ago

It could be a great improvement to allow node-exiftool to read and write sidecar files (as exiftool does). This way the compatibility with various formats (webm, bmp...) could be added.

@redhelling21 hey could you give an example please?

redhelling21 commented 7 years ago

I am not sure of what you mean by "example", but (for example) the bmp format does not accept XMP tags. So usually an XMP file is "attached" to the bmp (by having the same name) to provide the informations. Exiftool is already able to perform this kind of operation : http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/metafiles.html
