I tried to apply "-restore_original" on a list of files. I executed
exiftool -v -restore_original $(< aaa.txt)and obtained
======== /volume1/photo/Franjo/RAF_Fotos/2013/07Juli/_DSF4088.xmp
======== /volume1/photo/Franjo/RAF_Fotos/2013/07Juli/_DSF4107.xmp
======== /volume1/photo/Franjo/RAF_Fotos/2013/07Juli/_DSF4108.xmp
======== /volume1/photo/Franjo/RAF_Fotos/2013/07Juli/_DSF4110.xmp
======== /volume1/photo/Franjo/RAF_Fotos/2013/07Juli/_DSF4115.xmp
======== /volume1/photo/Franjo/RAF_Fotos/2013/07Juli/_DSF4117.xmp
======== /volume1/photo/Franjo/RAF_Fotos/2013/07Juli/_DSF4197.xmp
7 image files found
0 original files foundwhere the 7 files listed are the ones given in aaa.txt. Nothing happened, although all *.xmp_original files existed.
For a single file directly specified in the exiftool command it works:
exiftool -v -restore_original /volume1/photo/Franjo/RAF_Fotos/2013/07Juli/_DSF4107.xmpgives
======== /volume1/photo/Franjo/RAF_Fotos/2013/07Juli/_DSF4107.xmp
Restored from /volume1/photo/Franjo/RAF_Fotos/2013/07Juli/_DSF4107.xmp_original
1 image files found
1 image files restored from original
What am I missing?
EDIT:
It does work. Don't know what I missed in the first place. Sorry.
How can I remove this post?
Try
exiftool -v -restore_original -@ aaa.txt
Also, to verify, the contents of aaa.txt is
/volume1/photo/Franjo/RAF_Fotos/2013/07Juli/_DSF4088.xmp
