hallo, I want to say that I am a newbby here, I try to use this good software and I find a problem.
When I modify the file info, like date or Author name or other and I go to seve the changes, I always find an error.
This error is : "Error: Bad format (0) for IFD0 entry 5 - C:/name_file.jpg".
I think that the bug is in " C:/name_file.jpg " . The slash is a otherwise bar " / " and not the right one " \".
Why this appen ?
Maybe I'm saying a stupid thing, I don't know.
I attach a photo.
Thank you in advance for the answer.
The state of execucion is this :

The forward slash in the filename isn't a problem. ExifTool accept either, but it prefers forward slashes.
The problem is a format error in the EXIF of your image.
See FAQ number 20 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q20) for help. The error you are getting is not minor, so the -m option won't help. You must rebuild the metadata to repair this image.

[edit] By the way, I just looked at the file you uploaded, and it doesn't have this problem. In fact, it has no EXIF information.
ok, thank you phil.
The file that I uplod is only a screenshoot of the problem.
If you need to see the original one I can upload it.
I attach it.
This photo is made with an HTC Diamond (windows mobile). Is it possible that every gps photo will have the same problem ?
I re-read the faq, like you suggest me, and with this comman : exiftool -all= -tagsfromfile @ -all:all -unsafe name_file.jpg
all goes well.
is it possible to make a comman like this for all photos, without specify the name of file every time ?
It is likely that all images written by the same software/firmware will contain the same problem.
You can put as many filenames and/or directory names on the command line, and exiftool will process all specified files and all image files in specified directories. Also, you can add the -r option to process images in sub-directories too.
