Exiftool Vendored.js Versions Save

• 💔 ExifTool.write now returns metadata describing how many files were unchanged, updated, or created, and no longer throws an error if the operation is a no-op. It is up to you to inspect .warnings and decide for your own usecase if the issue is exceptional. See issue #162 for details.

• 💔 In the interests of reducing complexity, the ExifToolOptions.isIgnorableError predicate field was removed -- if this was used by anyone, please open an issue and we can talk about it.

• ✨ .warnings are returned by ExifTool.read and ExifTool.write tasks if there are non-critical warnings emitted to stderr by ExifTool.

• 📦 Some fields in Tags were moved to more correct groups

• 📦 Refined WriteTags signature to omit ExifToolTags and FileTags fields.

• 📦 Added node: prefix to Node.js module imports. This requires node v14.13, v16.0, or later.

Commits

• yarn docs (b3fd735)
• Revisit warning and error handling: - Delete ExifToolOptions.isIgnorableError predicate - Add .warnings to .read and .write results - Promote custom WriteTask error/warning handling to ExifToolTask - Extract WriteTag-related types from ExifTool.ts to avoid circular references - mktags handles duplicate-named tags in different groups properly now. First group in wins. - rebuild tags (79f5dbe)

• Replace all node imports with node: prefixes (55a84be)

• 📦 Added MWG .HierarchicalKeywords and .Collections to Tags

• 🐞/📦 Rotation was removed from the default set of numericTags, as it may be encoded as an EXIF orientation value, or a degree rotation, and it should be up to the application to figure it out.

Commits

• meh let's bump minor (3acdca1)

• rebuild docs (ca86cfe)
• update deps (47142e6)
• Add more MWG tags to Tags (40c66a3)
• Remove Rotation as being a numeric field--it may be EXIF.Orientation-encoded. (d71e92d)
• add jsdoc (d729af8)

• 📦 Added new option, ignoreZeroZeroLatLon, and defaulted this new option to true. Several camera manufacturers and image applications will write 0 to the GPSLatitude and GPSLongitude tags when they mean "unset"--but this can cause incorrect timezone inference. Set to false to retain prior code behavior.

• 📦 Rotation was added to the default set of numericTags, as it may be encoded as an EXIF orientation value. Prior builds could return Rotation values like "Rotate 270 CW".

• 📦 XMPTags.Notes was added to Tags, used as an album description

• 🐞 Some ExifToolOptions were not passed from ExifTool into the ReadTask, which caused ReadTask to revert to defaults.

  • avoid File stat tags (which use SystemZone) as a candidate EDT for zone adoption
  • if defaultVideosToUTC=true, Tags.tz isn't forced to UTC anymore if we can extract a reasonable zone, but we still parse all datestamps with a UTC default backstop (fbabbce)
