I had been using iView Media Pro to annotate the XMP People field, and now exiftool.exe for extracting this data; while the other fields return ok, the People field appears to return less data. I have attached a small example file that I hope demonstrates what I see. I am running on Windows XP. Thanks! -Brian Show quoted text

Thanks for this bug report. Currently ExifTool concatinates only pre-defined XMP list-type tags into comma-delimited lists. Your "People" tag is a mediapro tag, which isn't currently defined in ExifTool. The values for all tags in your People list exist, and can be extracted with the -a option (API Duplicates option). If you do this, you will get multiple People tags each containing a single value: Show quoted text

[XMP-mediapro] People : one [XMP-mediapro] People : two [XMP-mediapro] People : three But this behaviour is inconsistent, so I will fix this. The next ExifTool release (6.95 or later) will be updated to concatinate unknown list-type tags in the same way that pre-defined tags are concatinated. - Phil
