Extract thumbnail images recursively?

[handvprice]

I use the command from the FAQ to extract all types of thumbnails, in a batch file, and it works:

Code Select Expand

exiftool -a -b -W thumbnails/%%f_%%g"-"%%t%%-c.%%s -preview:all dir
But is there a way to make it work recursively? Simply adding -r just results in a file called "-r" being created.

Simply adding -r just results in a file called "-r" being created.

That will only happen if you put the -r between -W and its argument.  It will work literally anywhere else in the command line.

TY. That explains some varying results I was getting.
