Hi Jan,
There is no limit on the number of files that exiftool can process. However, there is a limit on the maximum length of a command line in Windows. But you can use the -@ option to get around this Windows limitation.

Hi Phil,
Thanks for yout comment. Mabye i don't understand it right. But it don't work for me.
I trying the generate txt files of more than 5000 images. Using the drag and drop function.
1: I select all the images.
2: Drag them to the Exiftool (-@ -w txt).exe
3: Still got the same error.
Do you have a clue?
Thanks...

Hi Jan,
That's not how it works. With the -@ option you put all of the filenames in a text file (one per line). Buf if you want drag-n-drop, this won't do it for you. The only way around the limitation with drag and drop is to drop a folder instead of a pile of files.

Thanks for your time.
