#export meta command

The export meta command

• Exports meta data to XMP sidecar files

All media with manual tags from HomeGallery are written to XMP sidecar files. By default it will create <name>.<ext>.xmp file. E.g. for the image IMG_1234.JPG the sidecar IMG_1234.JPG.xmp is created. If IMG_1234.xmp exists it will use this file.

The tags are written through Exiftool to following namespaces:

• Dublin Core (see Exiftool dc Tags)
• Digikam (see Exiftool digiKam Tags)
• Lightroom (see Exiftool lr Tags)
