EXIF data and globbing

Post by whugemann »

I have just studied http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/photos/#exif and experimented with various globbing expression. I found that

Code: Select all

identify -format "%[EXIF:Date*]" hc.jpg
yields no results, but

Code: Select all

 identify -format "%[EXIF:*Date*]" hc.jpg
does. I would rather expect the former expression to filter any EXIF data whoose name starts with "Date", whereas the later will return all EXIF data where "Date" appears somewhere in the name. Well, such names don't exist in this very case, but to me there seems to be a bug in the treatment of wildcards (?)
