Title: intermitent error
Post by: Click-Clack on November 04, 2011, 01:18:28 PM
I generate exiftool commands and store them in a Windows .bat file.
When I run it, sometime I get errors :" Error renaming temporary file to ..."
But the previous and the next commands where successful.

As I read in the forum, I think it's caused by Windows file lock.

How can I proceed in order to be able to execute successfully each command ?

Many thanks for your tool and... your answer...

One person was able to fix a similar problem by changing their Norton Antivirus settings to add "*.jpg_exiftool_tmp" to the scan exclusions:

Norton Internet Security --> Settings --> Computer Settings --> Exclusions/Low Risks --> Scan Exclusions

Wonderful ! Although I din't use Norton, I applied your solution to my antivirus and the problem seems to disappear.

Many thanks
