Title: BUG: File locked using -stay_open with extended characters in path
Post by: pipur on November 29, 2020, 03:27:16 AM

Windows 10 64-bit system
Exiftool 12.09
Command line: exiftool -charset filename=UTF8 -stay_open True -@ "c:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp\Ö\argfile.txt"
Unable to append to argfile.txt - file in use (locked) by Exiftool. It works as expected when it's only ASCII characters in path

This is the way ExifTool opens these files:

Code Select

CreateFileW($file, GENERIC_READ, FILE_SHARE_READ, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL);

Hmmm. Perhaps FILE_SHARE_READ should be changed to FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE ?

Thanks.
