Hi. I recently installed exiftools, and feh, on a Pi as I make a photo frame. I want to display a little data with each image, so I tried this line:
allan@raspberrypi:~/Documents $ exiftool -p "info: $Make $Model $Lens $Aperture $ShutterSpeed $FocalLengthIn35mmFormat $DigitalCreationDate" /mnt/photos/2022/2022-01\ Baxter/DSC00184.jpg
info:
as you can see, none of the fields printed out. The data is there...
allan@raspberrypi:~/Documents $ exiftool -Make -Model -Lens -Aperture -ShutterSpeed -FocalLengthIn35mmFormat -DigitalCreationDate /mnt/photos/2022/2022-01\ Baxter/DSC00184.jpg
Make : SONY
Camera Model Name : ILCE-7M4
Lens : E 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 A071
Aperture : 6.3
Shutter Speed : 1/100
Focal Length In 35mm Format : 83 mm
Digital Creation Date : 2022:01:08
I imagine I'm just missing something basic here. Any ideas?
The dollar sign has a special meaning in Linux when there are double quotes around it. Change the double quotes to single quotes and you will get the results you want.
