For multipage TIFFs, tags are only viewable for the first 3 images in the stack, and only editable for the first image.

I have a multipage TIFF with >50 TIFFs. But read_exif only shows the first 3. Tags are repeated for each TIFF in the stack like this: E.g., the image description tags are Exif.Image.ImageDescription, Exif.Image2.ImageDescription, and Exif.Image3.ImageDescription. Same for the others. But no more than 3 sets regardless of how many are in the stack.

I can easily change the tags:
set_exif(x = stackedTIFF,tag = "Exif.Image.ImageDescription",val = "DNA")

But reassigning tags for anything but the top TIFF
set_exif(x = stackedTIFF,tag = "Exif.Image2.ImageDescription",val = "DNA")

gives an error:

Error in set_exif(x = mcdVStackedPath, tag = "Exif.Image2.ImageDescription",  : 
  Tag not found

I've had a hell of a time finding a way to edit TIFF tags in R and this comes so close. Is there a fix for this?  🙏🏼
