Hello,
I use Xindows 7.
I have a jpg file in the same directory as exiftool.exe.
I would like to extract the thumbnail.
I use this command line : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Exiftool\exiftool.exe" -b –ThumbnailImage 15160514001305_gontran.jpg > gontran.jpg where :
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Exiftool is the path to the directory
- 15160514001305_gontran.jpg is the jpg file
- gontran.jpg is the jpg file to create
... , but it doesn't work : I got File not found: 15160514001305_gontran.jpg
I need help.
Thanks

exiftool will be looking for 15160514001305_gontran.jpg in the current directory. Unless C:\Program Files (x86)\Exiftool is the current directory, it won't be found. Put the jpg in the current directory or prefix it with the path to it (if I remember correctly from msdos, the path is the path for the executable not the data).
Alan is correct. In your specific example, the following command should work:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Exiftool\exiftool.exe" -b –ThumbnailImage "C:\Program Files (x86)\Exiftool\15160514001305_gontran.jpg" > "C:\Program Files (x86)\Exiftool\gontran.jpg"
But keeping the images in the Exiftool directory is not the usual thing to do.

The images are in the same directory as exiftool.
Now, it works.
Thanks.
