I need to use the perl version of exiftool to work around a date limitation in using the filesequence tag in the windows executable. There may be a rather convoluted way to do this using exiftool_stub, and I've gotten this to work from a command line, but not with exiftoolGUI.
I can also use the perl version with a plugin for Lightroom (FullMetaExport) which allows me to set an explicit path to exiftool, using the perl script (c:\exiftool\exiftool.pl). Would it be possible to add this option to exiftoolGUI?
Thank you.

I think ExifTool GUI just tries to run "exiftool" using your current PATH settings. The default Windows PATH includes the Windows directory (usually "c:\windows"), so this is the recommended install location for the exiftool executable. But you should be able to put it anywhere else and modify your PATH accordingly.

Part of the issue is being able to use the perl version of exiftool with exiftoolGUI without the added complication of using the stub.
