Software-update: ExifTool 12.11

Phil Harvey heeft versie 12.11 van ExifTool uitgebracht. ExifTool is een gratis en cross-platform programma waarmee de metadata van een groot aantal bestanden kan worden beheerd en bewerkt. Het werkt vanaf de commandline, maar er zijn oplossingen van derden beschikbaar, waardoor het ook met een grafische gebruikersinterface kan worden gebuikt. Met enige regelmaat verschijnen er nieuwe versies, maar de meeste uitgaves worden onder de bètavlag beschikbaar gesteld. Ook deze update wordt als ontwikkelversie aangeduid, de laatste stabiele uitgave is versie 12.00. Sinds versie 12.08 zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:

Changes in version 12.11:

• Added -csvDelim option

• Added a warning if ICC_Profile is deleted from an image (github issue #63)
• EndDir() function for -if option now works when -fileOrder is used
• Changed FileSize conversion to use binary prefixes since that is how the conversion is currently done (eg. MiB instead of MB)
• Patched -csv option so columns aren't resorted when using -G option and one of the tags is missing from a file
• Fixed incompatiblity with Google Photos when writing UserData:GPSCoordinates to MP4 videos
• Fixed problem where the tags available in a -p format string were limited to the same as the -if[NUM] option when NUM was specified

• Ignore time zones when writing date/time values and using the -d option
• Enhanced -echo3 and -echo4 options to allow exit status to be returned
• Changed -execute so the -q option no longer suppresses the "{ready}" message when a synchronization number is used (eg. -execute123)

• Avoid loading GoPro module unnecessarily when reading MP4 videos from some other cameras
• Fixed problem with an incorrect naming of CodecID tags in some MKV videos
