exiftool -csv -f -r -icc_profile:ProfileDescription /Users/roy/Desktop/historique > roytest2.csv
I was wondering if there was a simple instruction to save my roytest2.csv to my /Users/roy/Desktop/historique folder (i.e. default source folder) without having to assign the full path.
Knowing the cryptic genius of exiftool I suspect that there probably is!
No, because this is file redirection (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redirection_(computing)), which is something handled by the command line (CMD/Terminal/bash). Exiftool doesn't even see the > roytest2.csv part of the command.
The -csv option (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#csv-CSVFILE) is a bit limited in controlling the output. See also FAQ #12 "How do I export information from exiftool to a database?" (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q12)
Excelent explanation. I fully understand now. Many thanks.
