Title: Keeping Exiftool up to date
Post by: greybeard on April 15, 2020, 05:50:03 AM

I have a script that checks that the version on my server is up to date (and installs the latest if necessary).

It uses the rss feed to check on the latest version and the file to down load for the Image::Exiftool libraries.

Is this the best / most reliable method?

The best way to get the current version is to check this file:

Thanks a lot - can I assume you will keep the same format for the download URL? i.e. https://exiftool.org/Image-ExifTool-11.93.tar.gz
