I installed version 12.34, previous version 11.86. Installed location: /usr/local/src/Image-ExifTool-12.34
If I am in the installed directory, exiftool will indeed run.
But, I have the following configured in /usr/local/bin:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Nov 3 04:53 exiftool -> /usr/local/src/Image-ExifTool-12.34/exiftool
Under version 11.86 the path where exiftool is started was found. But, I noticed that how the start path is now detected is different, breaking the ability to find the starting path the way I have it linked. When I change the two lines at the beginning that deal with $exeDir, back to v11.86, the program works.
Leave it me to install this way, such that exiftool doesn't detect the path. I do this for a bunch of programs and, so far, this is the only one that doesn't like it.
Wow. This is a bit of a faux pas. Thanks for reporting this. It will be fixed in 12.35

Thanks
Does this mean that not finding the .ExifTool.cofig file will get fixed as well?
I just tested this, and the new version will find the config file in the directory of the link target.

Thanks.
