Title: Mini Exiftool
Post by: blim8183 on April 30, 2012, 02:35:26 PM
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question but here I go...

I'm using Mini Exiftool, a Ruby wrapper for ExifTool, but I'm running into an issue where Mini Exiftool doesn't seem to be reading the custom config file that I've created. Is there anybody here with extensive experience using Mini Exiftool who can confirm whether or not this is normal behavior? Thanks in advance.

This should be relatively independent of the wrapper, and should just depend on the environment in which ExifTool is run.  ExifTool will attempt to load a file named .ExifTool_config from the directories specified by the environment variables listed in the config file documentation (https://exiftool.org/config.html).  I'm sorry, but I don't have any Ruby experience, so I don't know how the environment is set when it runs ExifTool.
