Software update: ExifTool 12.55

Phil Harvey has released version 12.55 of ExifTool. ExifTool is a free and cross-platform program that allows the metadata of a large number of files can be managed and edited.

New versions are released regularly, but most releases are made available under the beta banner. This update is also referred to as a development version; the latest stable release is version 12.50. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:
