No SourceFile ... in imported CSV database / MacOs Catalina

[Tristan H]

Hi,
I've struggled all day long on the way to import metadatas from a .csv file and I didn't find an issue to my really simple (I guess) problem. I'm working for an french institution and as the Covid stay around I'm working from home and thought it could be the time to import all the metadata on the digitalization we have (the first batch will be about 800 000 images). I'm trying to test on few .jpg first to verify everything's correct and working.

I'm trying to import a csv file but every time I'd have the "No SourceFile..." error. I read a lot on this forum and try different config (lowercase in my .csv, not from the external HDD, made the .csv from scratch, made the .csv from Exiftool import and modified it, etc.) but I still have the error.

I'm working on Mac Os Catalina and the last (11.93) version of Exiftool.

My commands are :
exiftool -csv=/users/renardpal/Documents/_tristan/Test1/test1.csv /users/renardpal/Documents/_tristan/Test1/ -r

And then :

Imported entry for '/Users/renardpal/Documents/_tristan/Test1/Marine poteau.jpg' (full path: '/Users/renardpal/Documents/_tristan/Test1/Marine poteau.jpg')

but

No SourceFile '/users/renardpal/Documents/_tristan/Test1/Marine poteau.jpg' in imported CSV database

Note that "users" is not capitalized.  You should change "Users" to "users" in your CSV file.

I would suspect that if this was edited in a spreadsheet program, that the spreadsheet "helped" by capitalizing the word users.
