ExifTool Forum

I would like to export all the EXIF and IPTC for all files in a folder to a database.  I have exiftool.exe in the same folder as my test images (called c:\test). I'm using Windows XP.   The problem is when I try this from the command line:

exiftool -csv -r c:\test > c:\test.csv   

All I get is a file containing this:

======== c:\test/costa.jpg
======== c:\test/Poster.jpg
    1 directories scanned
    2 image files read

I know these files have metadata because I can see it when I use drag-and-drop with exiftools.  How can I get that same data exported to a file for all the images in a folder?   I am very new to exiftools and not a programmer so no answer is too basic here.

Thanks

I suspect you are using an old version of ExifTool (before the -csv option).

Try updating.

Thanks!  That did it.
