What’s new in version 13.03

  • Added ability to include or exclude tags from CSV and JSON imports (-csv=CSVFILE and -json=JSONFILE) by adding -TAG or --TAG options
  • Added read/delete support for SEAL metadata in JPG, TIFF, XMP, PNG, WEBP, HEIC, PPM, MOV and MP4 files, and read support in PDF, MKV and WAV files
  • Added support for user-defined application extensions in GIF images
  • Added print conversion for QuickTime VideoFullRangeFlag
  • Apply API LimitLongValues option to hex field in -j output
  • Avoid extracting some large AES-encrypted data from PDF files for performance reasons unless the -m option is used (current limits are 100 kB for XMP and 10 kB for everything else)
  • Fixed WindowsLongPath option to support wide characters (thanks Frank B)
  • Fixed problem writing ICC_Profile to a GIF image which already had one
  • Fixed problem writing Apple:FocusDistanceRange
  • API Changes:
    • Enchanced GlobalTimeShift option to allow the base tag to be specified, otherwise use the first specified source date/time tag when copying tags

If someone would write a GUI to integrate with this app, then it would be useful for more than the 1-in-a-1000 Mac users who are Terminal-savvy.

After installation, the app is untraceable and therefore not usable! I've tried several times, but without any results!
