Title: Difficulty!
Post by: Ricky on December 17, 2015, 01:20:36 AM
So, downloaded exiftool and the camel now sits on the desktop.

I'm not exactly literate in this kind of work, and am having problems with moving the .exe file to the c/windows directory. In fact I don't know what that means!

Naturally I tried the cmd but I get - 'exiftool is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file'

I know I'm doing wrong, but could I be steered in the right direction please!

Thanks
Richard

Hi Richard,

How you run ExifTool depends on what you want to do.

Just drag and drop an image file onto exiftool(-k).exe to see the metadata.  See the Running ExifTool section of the ExifTool home page (https://exiftool.org/index.html#running) for more information.
