Hello!
Is it possible to set default parameters to exiftool? Something more neat than aliases. Example config gives this:
# Specify default exiftool command-line arguments
# - inserted before all other options except -config
# - applies to all -execute'd commands
@Image::ExifTool::UserDefined::Arguments = (
'-i', 'HIDDEN', # ignore hidden files by default (names beginning with ".")
);
...so I tried this:
@Image::ExifTool::UserDefined::Arguments = (
'-overwrite_original'
);
1;But that does nothing. I'm sure config file is used as using 0 on the end returns "c:\sharedlib\.exiftool_config did not return a true value at Image/ExifTool.pm line 9301."
Any ideas? Or I have to resotr to exiftool.bat with
exiftool.exe -overwrite_original -p %*
I tried your config file and it works as expected. No _original is saved.

What version of exiftool are you using?
exiftool -ver
The default arguments config requires Version 12.78+
