The help file states that commas should not be used, but they appear to work
fine to separate tags in a string. Instead it only mentions the use of quotes,
which does not appear possible when setting multiple tags with a script.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Say I want want to copy multipal tags with spaces with a bash script all at
once, because this is faster than doing it one at a time, one might have
expected this to work:
$ tagnames="Cambridge \"New York\"'
$ openmeta -a $tagnames -p ./picture.jpg
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
openmeta could have interpreted this as two tag names, one as Cambridge and one
as New York. Instead it sees tags as:
1) Cambridge
2) "New
3) York"
However, if I set the tags with commas like this it works fine:
$ tagnames="Cambridge,New York"
$ openmeta -a "$tagnames" -p ./picture.jpg
The output is: Cambridge "New York"
Why is this apparently not allowed according to the help text, which is printed
when running openmeta without any inputs? Use of commas like this is very
useful, particularly because they are used as delimiters in the the output of
exiftool.
The output of openmeta tags are very difficult to process if there are spaces
in tag names.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version: 1.3 (not 0.1 as stated in help text)
Mac: 10.6
Please provide any additional information below.
