I think it will be much better to only modify an ExifToolGUI setting

I agree. If nothing is set in ExifToolGUI*.ini, first look in the ExifToolGui directory, then in the path.

@obetz

All good advice. Thanks.

Give me some time to think about, I will get back on it.

Hello Herb.
Just released V6.0.5, that adds the option to specify the exiftool.exe location in Preferences/other.

Please let me know what you think of it.

No problem for me, but I wouldn't put this link hard coded in the "About" box. Maybe Readme.md in your HitHub repository or other ExifToolGui documentation is the better place. The download link to my package might change sooner or later.

Regarding the docs: Do you know https://exiftool.org/gui/ ? You should either link to it or even better incorporate it in your release (not sure about license/copyright).

Regarding binary releases: I suggest not to use "Source/Win32/Release" but the "releases" function of GitHub https://docs.github.com/repositories/releasing-projects-on-github/about-releases

Hello Oliver,

Just released V6.0.5, it addresses the issues mentioned above.
Please contact me, if I have misunderstood something. Thanks again for your feedback.

Hi there. Awesome news that ExifTool GUI is reloaded!
I've encountered a bug in v5, I don't know yet if it's been fixed in v6. In a workspace, when there's two entries with the same tag name from different namespaces, there's an error message « list index out of bounds ». I'll try v6 very soon, but wanted to have some pre-info on that issue in the meantime 

Thanks for your hard work!

[FrankB]

Thanks!

If haven't looked at that specific case. I did introduce a check that the nr. of results should be equal to the nr. of commands. Dont know if that fixes your case.

BTW I'm working very hard on a new release V6.2 with improved UTF8 support and an enhanced log Window. Expect to release it in a few weeks.

[lajip]

Great, I'll check it out asap and report back any issue.
Edit: unfortunately the issue remains. I do get a popup window showing "Only X results returned. Your workspace has Y commands.", but then everything from V5 remains, i.e. some tags are missing in the Workspace, and the one that are showing up are mixed. As a test, you can for example add this to the ini file:

Code Select Expand

PDF=-GUI-SEP
CreateDate=-PDF:CreateDate
XMP Create Date=-XMP-xmp:CreateDate
XMP Toolkit=-XMP-x:XMPToolkit
-

On the feature side, I've always wondered why we can't add a tag to the workspace from the "ALL" view. It would be awesome to do so!
My use cases are mainly with PDF files, and the tags of the "PDF" namespace are only displayed in the "ALL" view; hence this request.

Also, being able to select multiple tags (with the usual CTRL and SHIFT modifier keys) and add them altogether to the Workspace, would be a time saver! It would be great to be able to do so.

Keep up the good work (y)

[FrankB]

Will look into it when I'm home. Next week or so.

I do have 1 question. How do you have the options setup? Especially 'Dont show duplicated tags'

Frank

[FrankB]

Look at the Changelog for Exiftool 12.66. https://exiftool.org/history.html
That should fix your problem.

I will look at the remarks, but that will be for a next release. I will create an issue in Github for those.

Frank

[lajip]

Sorry Franck for the delay. I have all my options set to default.
Thank you for considering my requests! Really appreciated.

If you need me to test something, please feel free to ask.

[FrankB]

If I have something to test I will gladly ask you to test.

But most important: Does upgrade to Exiftool 12.66, or 12.67 solve your problem? For me it works...
(Although I think ExiftoolGui could be better)

[FrankB]

On the feature side, I've always wondered why we can't add a tag to the workspace from the "ALL" view. It would be awesome to do so!

Did a quick test, by enabling the button. Cant see whats wrong, so I'll enable it in the next release.

Also, being able to select multiple tags (with the usual CTRL and SHIFT modifier keys) and add them altogether to the Workspace, would be a time saver! It would be great to be able to do so.

The control used "TValueListEditor" does NOT support Multi-select, so that's hard to implement. It would require extending the control. I think that's overkill.

What I CAN do is use Double Click for adding/removing Tags to the Workspace. I think that would already save you a lot of time. I would like to add a Checkbox in the Preferences/Other tab 'Double Click adds/removes tags to/from Workspace'. Are you happy with that?
