FITS doesn't capture all Exiftool output #28

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Exiftool captures a wide variety of metadata from both images and video, but 
most of these fields aren't retained by FITS when it normalizes the exiftool 
output. Since camera output tends to be pretty diverse, this means that FITS 
will miss at least some metadata on many, or even most, files when reading 
born-digital media in its original camera format.

It would be really useful to add a commandline switch to enable including the 
entire exiftool XML output (from exiftool -X) as a part of FITS's own XML 
output.

There is an option to include all output from the tools FITS uses.  Change the 
<display-tool-output> option to true in xml/fits.xml

Great, thanks! I was not aware of that option.
