With exiftool failing to rename files, is is possible to get a list of all duplicate filenames (source and destination) without parsing the stderr?
I want to use exiftool's output as an input to ImageMagick's "identify %#" to find images that differ only by EXIF.
Regards,
I guess I don't understand why parsing stderr is a problem. Is it because you want the names in some other format? I would just grep for "already" in stderr.

Phil,
Thank you for answering.
There is no problem. I just thought if the "obstructing filename" were treated as regular tag name, I could pass more than two arguments to the child script doing comparison (mainly to differentiate between old camera not supporting subseconds and files that were edited/rotated and have the same times).
Anyway, as you pointed out, I can parse the stderr and achieve what I wanted in more than one pass. I just wanted to make sure if there was no shortcut for this.
