Variable DefaultWriteTaskOptionsConst

Type Declaration

• ReadonlyignoreMinorErrors: boolean

  Should we ignore minor errors when reading metadata?

  Default

  true (ExifTool can be quite chatty)
  Copy

• Readonlystruct: 0 | 1 | 2 | "undef"

  How should ExifTool handle nested structures?

  • 0 = Read/copy flattened tags
  • 1 = Read/copy structures
  • 2 = Read/copy both flattened and structured tags, but flag flattened tags as "unsafe" for copying
  • "undef" = Same as 0 for reading and 2 for copying

  Default

  1
  Copy

• ReadonlyuseMWG: boolean

  Should ExifTool use MWG (Metadata Working Group) composite tags for reading and writing tags?

  ExifTool recommends this to be set to true. Note that this can result in many tag value differences from ExifTool.read, and makes ExifTool.write write to "synonymous" MWG tags automatically.

  Default

  true
  Copy

  See

  https://exiftool.org/TagNames/MWG.html for details

• ReadonlywriteArgs: string[]

  Any additional arguments that should be added by default to all write tasks, like ["-overwrite_original"]. The value provided to the ExifTool constructor can be overridden in the call to ExifTool.write.

  Default

  []
