Hello,
I have the following problem:
first I use LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
if I ask for DateTimeOriginal I get
exiftool -d %Y-%m-%b FILE
2019-03-M?r
but for renaming the file I get
exiftool -d %Y-%m-%b '-filename<DateTimeOriginal' FILE
2019-03-Mär[|code]
Why this two different results?
What can I do?
Regards
Jörg
Hi Jörg,
Here is what I get in sh on Mac:
$ printenv LANG
de_DE.UTF-8
$ exiftool -createdate -d %Y-%m-%b a.jpg
Create Date : 2021-03-Mär
$ exiftool '-filename<$createdate.%e' -d %Y-%m-%b -v a.jpg
======== a.jpg
Setting new values from a.jpg
'a.jpg' --> '2021-03-Mär.jpg'
1 image files updated
$ ls -l 2021*

Dear Phil,
thank you for your fast response.
It seems that I have differences in the libraries. I installed exiftool via the DMG from your website.
Here are the output of exiftool -ver -v
ExifTool version 12.25
Perl version 5.030002 (-C0)
Platform: darwin
Optional libraries:
Archive::Zip 1.68
Compress::Zlib 2.084
Digest::MD5 2.55
Digest::SHA 6.02
IO::Compress::Bzip2 2.084
Time::Piece 1.33
Time::Local 1.28
Unicode::LineBreak (not installed)
IO::Compress::RawDeflate 2.084
IO::Uncompress::RawInflate 2.084

Hi Jörg,
I suggest you install POSIX:strptime if possible. My guess is that Time::Piece isn't handling locales properly. ExifTool will use the POSIX library if it exists.

Hey Phil,
sorry, unfortunately no success
I installed POSIX::strptime and Unicode::LineBreak
ExifTool version 12.25
Perl version 5.030002 (-C0)
Platform: darwin
Optional libraries:
Archive::Zip 1.68
Compress::Zlib 2.084
Digest::MD5 2.55
Digest::SHA 6.02
IO::Compress::Bzip2 2.084
POSIX::strptime 0.13
Time::Local 1.28
Unicode::LineBreak 2019.001
IO::Compress::RawDeflate 2.084
IO::Uncompress::RawInflate 2.084
It seem, that renaming and output of parameters are using different libraries.
