Title: Digital signature exe file
Post by: RimQ on March 09, 2023, 08:17:36 AM

Hi,

Is there a signed version of exiftool.exe? If not, can a digital signature be added in a future release?

Thanks!
Rim

P.S: Would it also be possible to rebuild the exe file using these flags? /FIXED:NO /NXCOMPAT /DYNAMICBASE

Thanks, I guess I have my answer now for the digital signature...What about rebuilding exiftool.exe with "/FIXED:NO /NXCOMPAT /DYNAMICBASE" flags? (Should I open a new topic for this? since it's not really related to digital signature)

I wouldn't know how to build the exe with those flags. Maybe as Oliver if he knows about these for the alternate Windows version? (ask him in this thread (https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php/topic,10128.0.html))

The exiftool Windows "executable" is built with the Perl PAR::Packer (https://metacpan.org/pod/PAR::Packer) module. I don't believe there are options included for using these flags, as Google searches on "PAR:Packer" and each of these flags doesn't return any relevant results.
