I always considered the interface quite clumsy and I consider the new interface some progress. > I'm sorry this had an adverse affect on your workflow, but the solutions are > simple: > > Either 1) Write only EXIF tags (works for any version): > > -exif:GPSLatitudeRef='N' -exif:GPSLatitude='64 deg 8'' 51.464"' > -exif:GPSLongitudeRef='W' -exif:GPSLongitude='21 deg 55'' 59.700"' > > or 2) Write the reference directions after the latitude/longitude (works for > any version): > > -GPSLatitude='64 deg 8'' 51.464"' -GPSLatitudeRef='N' -GPSLongitude='21 deg > 55'' 59.700"' -GPSLongitudeRef='W' I admit having a certain sequence of command line options makes an interface non-intuitive. I think we should leave the bug report open to simply fix this that the command line options are working in random sequence and thus restoring the old behaviour. I'm perfectly able to search-and-replace my scripts to find a personal solution but in general I think the need to force a certain sequence is a misfeature that will trick several old users of exiftools. > or 3) write the reference directions together with the coordinates (only > works for 12.44 or later): > > -GPSLatitude='64 deg 8'' 51.464"N' -GPSLongitude='21 deg 55'' 59.700"W' This is certainly a convenient new feature. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
