## Extra Tags

The extra tags represent extra information extracted or generated by ExifTool that is not directly associated with another tag group. The three writable "pseudo" tags (Filename, Directory and FileModifyDate) may be written without the need to rewrite the file since their values are not contained within the file data.

> Tag Name | Writable | Values / Notes
> --- | --- | ---
> CanonVRD | Y! | (the full Canon DPP VRD trailer block)
> Comment | Y | (comment embedded in JPEG, GIF89a or PPM/PGM/PBM image)
> CurrentIPTCDigest | N | (MD5 digest of IPTC data, computed if Digest::MD5 is available)
> Directory | Y! |
> EXIF | Y! | (the full EXIF data block from JPEG, PNG, JP2, MIE and MIFF images)
> Encryption | N |
> Error | N |
> ExifByteOrder | Y | (only writable for newly created EXIF segments) 'II' = Little-endian (Intel, II) 'MM' = Big-endian (Motorola, MM)
> ExifToolVersion | N |
> ExifUnicodeByteOrder | Y | (the EXIF specification is particularly vague about the byte ordering for Unicode text, and different applications use different conventions. By default ExifTool writes Unicode text in EXIF byte order, but this write-only tag may be used to force a specific byte order) 'II' = Little-endian (Intel, II) 'MM' = Big-endian (Motorola, MM)
> FileModifyDate | Y! | (the filesystem modification time)
> FileName | Y! | (may be written with a full path name to set FileName and Directory in one operation)
> FileSize | N |
> FileType | N |
> GIFVersion | N |
> Geotag | Y | (this write-only tag is used to define the GPS track log data or track log file name. Currently supported track log formats are GPX, NMEA RMC/GGA/GLL, KML, Garmin XML and Magellan PMGNTRK)

> Geotime

> Y

> (this write-only tag is used to define a date/time for interpolating a position in the GPS track specified by the Geotag tag. Writing this tag causes the following 8 tags to be written: GPSLatitude, GPSLatitudeRef, GPSLongitude, GPSLongitudeRef, GPSAltitude, GPSAltitudeRef, GPSDateStamp and GPSTimeStamp. The local system timezone is assumed if the date/time value does not contain a timezone. May be deleted to delete associated GPS tags. A group name of 'EXIF' or 'XMP' may be specified to write or delete only EXIF or XMP GPS tags)

> ICC_Profile | Y! | (the full ICC_Profile data block)
> ID3Size | N |
> ImageHeight | N |
> ImageWidth | N |
> JPEGDigest | N | (an MD5 digest of the JPEG quantization tables is combined with the component sub-sampling values to generate the value of this tag. The result is compared to known values in an attempt to deduce the originating software based only on the JPEG image data. For performance reasons, this tag is calculated only if specifically requested)
> MIMEType | N |
> MaxVal | N |
> Now | N | (used to set the value of a tag to the current date/time. Not generated unless specified)
> PreviewImage | Y |
> RAFVersion | N |
> Warning | N |
> XMP | Y! | (the full XMP data block)
> XResolution | N |
> YResolution | N |
