Editing Pantry structures

[StarGeekSpaceNerd]

The Pantry tag is a structured tag (see the Structured Information page) and is made even more complicated by the fact that it is made to hold other standard XMP tags, including other structured tags. Another complication is that it is a List type tag (see Exfitool FAQ #17), so there can be more than one Pantry entry. What needs to be done is to create the whole structured data block and write that to the Pantry tag using the -struct option. There is the requirement that one of the included tags is the InstanceID tag. For example, here's a Pantry entry I found in one of my files

C:>exiftool -G1 -a -s -struct -Pantry Y:!temp\x\y\test.mp4
[XMP-xmpMM] Pantry : [{DocumentID=a4089cdf-f59c-53f3-2cfc-d59a0000004d,History=[{Action=saved,Changed=/,InstanceID=23157e25-02c6-fe66-b8e5-f7e00000007a,SoftwareAgent=Adobe Adobe Media Encoder CC 2018.1 (Macintosh),When=2018:09:06 13:41:50+02:00}],InstanceID=23157e25-02c6-fe66-b8e5-f7e00000007a,OriginalDocumentID=xmp.did:da7a4428-f3c5-4808-8c86-52400e33e132,XMP-tiff:Orientation=Horizontal (normal),XMP-xmp:CreateDate=2018:08:30 13:33:05Z,XMP-xmp:MetadataDate=2018:09:06 13:41:50+02:00,XMP-xmp:ModifyDate=2018:09:06 13:41:50+02:00,XMP-xmpDM:AltTimecode={TimeFormat=25 fps,TimeValue=00:00:00:00},XMP-xmpDM:Duration={Scale=0.0004,Value=3582400},XMP-xmpDM:StartTimeSampleSize=100,XMP-xmpDM:StartTimeScale=2500}]


Braking this down to a more human readable form

[
	{
		DocumentID=a4089cdf-f59c-53f3-2cfc-d59a0000004d,
		History=[
			{
				Action=saved,
				Changed=/,
				InstanceID=23157e25-02c6-fe66-b8e5-f7e00000007a,
				SoftwareAgent=Adobe Adobe Media Encoder CC 2018.1 (Macintosh),
				When=2018:09:06 13:41:50+02:00
			}
		],
		InstanceID=23157e25-02c6-fe66-b8e5-f7e00000007a,
		OriginalDocumentID=xmp.did:da7a4428-f3c5-4808-8c86-52400e33e132,
		XMP-tiff:Orientation=Horizontal (normal),
		XMP-xmp:CreateDate=2018:08:30 13:33:05Z,
		XMP-xmp:MetadataDate=2018:09:06 13:41:50+02:00,
		XMP-xmp:ModifyDate=2018:09:06 13:41:50+02:00,
		XMP-xmpDM:AltTimecode={
			TimeFormat=25 fps,
			TimeValue=00:00:00:00
		},	
		XMP-xmpDM:Duration={
			Scale=0.0004,
			Value=3582400
		},
		XMP-xmpDM:StartTimeSampleSize=100,
		XMP-xmpDM:StartTimeScale=2500
	}
]

Within this example, there are a bunch of other tags included as well as three structured tags, History, XMP-xmpDM:AltTimecode, and XMP-xmpDM:Duration.

There is no easy way to write this data. You'll have to read over the Structured Information page above and work out how to create the full structure to write it.

As StarGeek points out, writing XMP-xmpMM:Pantry is done using the same syntax as when extracted with the -struct option. However, I noticed a problem writing date/time values. This will be fixed in 12.73.

I'll close this issue for now, but feel free to re-open it if ExifTool doesn't behave as expected when trying to write this information.
