Title: Deleting thumbnails
Post by: Bilge on January 27, 2013, 01:21:19 PM
Hi,

I thought it was possible to delete thumbnails with ExifTool. However, using the command

-PhotoshopThumbnail= -ThumbnailOffset= -ThumbnailLength= -OtherImageStart= -OtherImageLength=

I receive the following warnings:

Quote
Warning: Sorry, PhotoshopThumbnail is not writable
Warning: Sorry, ThumbnailOffset is protected for writing
Warning: Sorry, ThumbnailLength is protected for writing
Warning: Sorry, OtherImageStart is protected for writing
Warning: Sorry, OtherImageLength is protected for writing

How can I remove these?

Many thanks.

Try -thumbnailimage=.  This should work for thumbnails.  I'm not sure how much success you will have with the other images though.
