Title: ExportImport CSV
Post by: Urs on November 02, 2011, 05:37:37 AM
Hi, together  (another Newby ist trying to Export)

I tried in ExifToolGUI under ExifTool direct the csv-Export:
-common -csv c:\Temp\Bilder\ >out.csv

All I get is a msgbox with:
File not found :>out.csv
1 directory scanned
30 images files read
1 files could not be read
... and then all the Exif Informations from the pictures (these informations he should write in the file "out.csv".

My computer has Windows VISTA. Is there something special to handle?
I tried ExifTool directly in the command prompt - same result.
It looks like that he isn't be able to write the csv-file???
Thanks for your support

Hi,
As mentioned in GUI manual (https://exiftool.org/gui/#b_etdirect), GUI doesn't support "redirecting" output (which is what > does in your command).

In cmd-promt usage, there should be no problem.. but you need to specify files, i.e.:
exiftool -common -csv c:\Temp\Bilder\*.jpg>out.csv
