Post by: _rach_ on July 04, 2019, 10:47:08 AM
Hello guys,

i m on Debian 10 stable,

Code Select
exiftool -ver 11.16

there is a bug when export the tag -sourcefile on .csv, its seems to a problem with UPPER/UNDERcase detection and some character added before the path.

Can you show me the steps I would need to reproduce this problem?

I can't reproduce this with ExifTool 11.16 on redhat linux:

Code Select
$ Image-ExifTool-11.16/exiftool -sourcefile mySRCdirectory/ > out.txt
$ cat out.txt
======== mySRCdirectory/b.jpg
======== mySRCdirectory/a.jpg
    1 directories scanned
    2 image files read
$ uname -r
2.6.32-754.11.1.el6.x86_64

But note that this command will not produce any output since there is no SourceFile tag.

Also, I couldn't use a top-level directory name because I don't have root permission to create one on this system.

oooh! my bad, its not an error, its a bad [option].
The good code is:
Code Select
exiftool -a -sourcefile -csv ./  > file.csv

very sorry Phil

OK, great.  Glad you figured it out.  I'll leave the topic here in case anyone else runs into the same problem.
