Hi Phil,
I call the following parameters by piping it directly into exiftool:
-b\n
-jpgfromraw\n
C:\Users\gwegner\Desktop\test blöde dng\_MG_1676.dng\n
-execute\n
Without any special characters like the "ö" above everything works, I can read the jpg preview from the input stream.
But as soon as the special char is included it doesn't work anymore. Any idea?
Thank you very much
Gunther
In general, ExifTool does not work with special characters in file names. This is a known problem with no easy solution. There are a few threads discussing this problem.

Hi Phil, thank you for your swift reply. I did some more investigations. I thought I was intended to pipe the stream as UTF 8, but that didn't work. Now I tried ISO-8859-1 - that seems to work. At least on windows. I will have to test it on mac this evening.
On Mac there is no problem with special characters in file names. The standard C libraries use UTF-8 for file names on Mac/Linux. Heaven only knows why Microsoft doesn't do this. You say it works with ISO-8859-1 on your Windows system, but this success will depend on your system settings, and may not work on other Windows systems.
