Title: Combination of swedish characters in the filename and tags doesn't work
Post by: tomnil on October 24, 2015, 07:26:01 AM

Windows 7
exiftool -ver: 9.88 (tested with 10.03 also, problem seems to be there)

Short description: Depending on the command line, Exiftool sometime doesn't output the tags.

Command line (broken): "exiftool(-k -S).exe" -a -k -CreateDate "C:\Users\admin\desktop\test\test åäö.jpg"
==> No tags

Command line (working): "exiftool(-k -S).exe" -a -k -CreateDate "C:\Users\admin\desktop\test\test åäö.jpg"
==> OK, tags displayed

If the filename is "normal", it works as it should.

Adding -charset filename=Latin1 doesn't help.

File with swedish chars is attached.

Tomas

The two command lines are exactly the same, or am I missing something?

Sorry, copy paste didn't work as planned ::) I haven't tested this, hope I get it right from memory:

"exiftool(-k -S).exe" -a -k -CreateDate "C:\Users\admin\desktop\test\test åäö.jpg"
==> No tags

"exiftool(-k -S).exe" -a -k "C:\Users\admin\desktop\test\test åäö.jpg"
==> All tags, OK!

BR,
Tomas

Hi Tomas,

One would expect that behaviour if CreateDate doesn't exist in the file.
