Yes. You will need to install the metadata extractor package as well if you want the EXIF metadata.

I have alredy installed the XMP Metadata extractor, and I have installed also the Drew metadata parser.
But when I run the action "Extract common metadata fields in content" nothing happend.
Have you any idea?

According to the Readme for this

If using both the XMP and Drew metadata parsers the extracter will first look for XMP metadata and, if found, will only use that XMP and will not allow the Drew metadata parser to overwrite the data read via XMP.

So if it has already pulled the XMP data, it won't pull the EXIF. Another thing to look at as well is to make sure that you have JMagick installed.

After some day with a lot of test, something is more clear.
I have installed all the components and I use only the XMP parser in the IptcExifMetadataExtracter.

Now happend that when run the extractor, I can see only the IPTC informations, not the EXIF.
I think it is becuse the reader (ExifTool) runs with these paramers : -xmp -b
I did some tests in the command line with these parameters and the result is an XML which contains only some IPTC fields, not the exif informations.
How can I set the ExifTool parameters to load also exif fields?
(I tried with "-exif:all" but the result is not an XML as is expected by the parser, so it doesn't work)

Do you know what can be the parameters to use?

Thank you
bye
