# Allow duplicate tag names to be extracted.
-duplicates
# Extract values of unknown tags as well as unknown information
# from some binary data blocks. This is the same as two '-u' options.
-unknown2
# Ignore minor errors and warnings. This enables writing to files
# with minor errors and disables some validation checks which could result in minor warnings.
-ignoreMinorErrors
# Show the progress when processing files. Implies the '-v0' option.
-progress
# Show the progress on console title aswell.

# Overwrite the original FILE (instead of preserving it by adding _original to the file name)
# when writing information to an image. Caution: This option should only be used if you already
# have separate backup copies of your image files. The overwrite is implemented by renaming a
# temporary file to replace the original. This deletes the original file and replaces it with
# the edited version in a single operation. When combined with -o, this option causes the original
# file to be deleted if the output file was successfully written (ie. the file is moved instead of copied).
# If you wish to copy the files instead of overwriting them, see example 5 at
# https://exiftool.org/filename.html about using the '-o' option.
-overwrite_original
# Preserve the filesystem modification date/time (FileModifyDate) of the original file
# when writing. Note that some filesystems store a creation date (ie. FileCreateDate
# on Windows and Mac systems) which is not affected by this option. This option is
# superseded by any value written to the FileModifyDate tag.
