A small python wrapper around exiftool. Several image processing tools like RawTherapee omit meta data while creating processed images. This especially includes the GPS location and the tag list (e.g. created by digiKam) but in general all IPTC and XMP information. This script copies the respective Exif, IPTC and XMP tags to the processed images and simplifies the job by deducing the name of the original image files from the target file names.
Usage
usage: copyiptcandxmp [-h] -o DIR [-e [EXTENSION [EXTENSION ...]]] [-x] [-i]
[-g] [-t]
