This is actually a bit tricky as the resulting image is different (has different properties). I guess some of the properties could be copied across (e.g. manufacturer).

See this link on how to copy EXIF data: http://thomer.com/howtos/copy_exif.html

I'll think about adding such an option.

I agree, exiftool do this job. What fields to copy can be from different vendors. But i think that copy camera model, (make and model), dates (createDate) and some photo status like (iso, flash, exposure time, etc) that can keep in the output file. thanks. ps: your script is very close to be great tool!, i want to avoid use the samsung software.

I'd say that basic stuff could be copied. I could have look at the file produced by the S7 or ActionDirector to see what's in them as a reference (don't have access to those now as I "lost" my Gear360 somewhere).

Thanks, it's definitely far from perfect, I plan to do small improvements as I find time to do it.

I test and the only tag that need facebook to get as 360 photo is projectiontype i use exiftool:

exiftool -Projectiontype=equirectangular <photo_pano.jpg>

and facebook understand that the uploaded photo is 360. =)

EXIF data is now copied except some lens data (plus thumbnails I think).

thanks!!!
