Hi:
The options
exiftool -exif:orientation="Rotate 270 CW" "&mimagen"
and
exiftool -q -TagsFromFile "&mfin" -all:all aa.mie
Create a back up file of the original... which is good, but probably
it makes the whole process to take longer and some people do not want
other files created... I would like to give the option.
Is there a way to avoid the creation of the backup?
Thanks

Hi Emilio,
You can avoid the "_original" files with the -overwrite_original option, but this won't speed things up since ExifTool creates a temporary file anyway. This is the only really safe way to rewrite a file -- the temporary file is simply discarded if any error occurs while writing.
