Independent exiftool-parity audit comparing oxidex against a freshly pulled ExifTool 13.55 tag database.
Bug
Tags whose value is a rational/numeric array come out as just the first element instead of the full array:
EXIF:BitsPerSample: ExifTool "8 8 8" → oxidex "8"EXIF:AsShotNeutral: ExifTool "0.592408 1 0.501692" → oxidex "0.592408"CR2CFAPattern, SubjectArea also affected
This is a real correctness bug (not cosmetic) wherever ExifTool returns a multi-element array — appears across multiple formats (JPEG, CR2, DNG, others), so likely a shared array-formatting/writer code path.
Scope
Affects any tag with TIFF type RATIONAL[]/SRATIONAL[]/array count > 1. Should be fixed once in the shared value-formatting layer rather than per-tag.
Repro
Compare EXIF:BitsPerSample or EXIF:AsShotNeutral on a JPEG/RAW fixture between oxidex -j -e and exiftool -json -a -G1 -struct.
