The special All tag may be used in this syntax only if a VALUE is NOT given. The preferred group is the first group in the following list where TAG is valid: 1) EXIF, 2) IPTC, 3) XMP. If no group name is specified, the tag is created in the preferred group, and updated in any other location where a same-named tag already exists. TAG may contain a leading family 0 or 1 group name separated by a colon. += may also be used to increment numerical values, and -= may be used to conditionally delete or replace a tag (see WRITING EXAMPLES for examples). += and -= are used to add or remove existing entries from a list, or to shift date/time values (see Image::ExifTool:: for details). comment=wow), or delete the tag if no VALUE is given (ie. Write a new value for the specified tag (ie. Here are instructions for changing meta-data tag values (from Phil Harvey's ExifTool instructions):

You will need to download and unzip the latest (or any old version, I suppose) of ExifTool for use in conjuction with ExifTool GUI. Phil Harvey's ExifTool site appears to be down at the moment - but it's easy to find (Google "exiftool"). Ditto for the other two EXE's that unzip along with ExifTool GUI (which are associated with specific JPG image actions, and are not essential). "ExifTool.exe" (renamed to that, with the "switch" removed from the file-name) can be placed in the very same folder, or (alternatively) placed in the "C:\Windows" folder itself.

If you have a Win OS, save yourself the command-line grief, and get ExifTool GUI 5.15:Įven though the developer (Bogdan) appears to have stopped supporting the application, it is a mature application that should have no problems with any future releases of ExifTool.Įxiftool GUI is a non-installing, portable (can be run out of any logical-drive) item. do I need to spell out users/-/desktop in more detail? Digging that out of the (-k) "documentation" is no easy task!Į.g. If you could give me a bit of a breakdown of the command line and explain any assumptions I would be grateful. What's the bit in bold doing? Is that the path to the file to be processed? Are you assuming it's on the desktop? Just need some advice so I understand what is happening and with the documentation being inaccessible I need your help please guys.Įxiftool -orientation=1 - n /Users/-/Desktop/Orientation\ Tag/_DSF5042k.jpg OK so it's been a while since I played with the command line but I am up for it.

So, after that long rambling explanation, my question is, is there an EXIF data attribute for orientation, what are its permitted values and how do I poke a value in there? My theory is that since the scanned images do not have any orientation information the Boxee Box is becoming confused or is trying to be too clever. Unfortunately it does not remember the setting so reverts to incorrect orientation when you next run the slideshow. The Boxee Box has a facility that allows you to rotate any image by stopping the slideshow, rotating the image and then continuing. There is no problem with any photo originated in digital. You might ask, 'Does it matter if the router is able to stream them?' And that would be true but for one thing - the Boxee has a rather nice way of auto panning and zooming duriing slideshows which my missus loves so I have to find a fix. So it seems that the Boxee Box is the only device that can't handle it. If I stream the same photos from a USB stick plugged into my router using DNLA they are fine.

(Well that's not entirely true - a few did but I rotated them in Windows Explorer and they now appear OK in Windows). In windows explorer the images do not appear incorrect. Randomly they are anything from 90 to 180 to 270 degrees out.Īll of the photos in question are film that has been scanned either from negatives or print.

When streaming photos stored on my NAS to my TV using teh Boxee Box some of them are oriented incorrectly. This request might be more appropriate on a Boxee Box forum but since Boxee has just been bought by Samsung the forums are in a bit of disarray at the moment.
