Remove group info some special tag

zhifengzhuang opened this issue · comments

Hello!I try to remove adobe group info but preserve some special tags.
exiftool -all= -adobe:all= -tagsfromfile @ -adobe:APP14Flags0 base.jpeg
The error info shows bellow.
Sorry, adobe:app14flags0 doesn't exist or isn't writable
Is there any way to solve this problem? It seems that no-writable tags don't work.

You can't write back unwritable tags. To do what you want, you need to exclude the whole group from the delete.

I don't understand what you are trying to do. The Adobe APP14 segment has a fixed structure. I don't see how you can delete it and try to add back only one of the binary fields.

Thanks for your reply!
