Title: How to identify the files that could not be updated due to errors
Post by: Lagrandeimage on December 12, 2020, 04:16:59 PM
Dear all,

So I am running exiftool commands on my 38 k+ pics collections.

At the end of running a command like say deleting a keyword I get a message saying :

XXXX files not modified
XXXX files modified
XX files not updated due to errors

How can I identify the files that could not be updated due to errors?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Take a look at the -efile option (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#efile-NUM-ERRFILE).
