Hello everyone , I'm writing software in Java under Linux Debian environment that analyzes all nas direcotry (3TB) and write the result in a database .
In your opinion what is the best method to use exiftool for this scenario?
I need not consume too much CPU and i need high-speed
Thank you all for your cooperation
I forgot to say that I have to analyze all types..... pictures , audio and video :-)
Currently the speed is 1 minute to 8.5GB...i need to increse my speed...
thanx
See the Improving Performance (https://exiftool.org/index.html#performance) section of the ExifTool home page.

Hi Phill, Thank you for your reply!
I have read "Improving Performance" section and it's very interesting.
But Unfortunately the link that you indicated about exiftool User experience not work..
"[One exiftool user documented a 60x speed increase by processing a large number of files with a single command instead of running exiftool separately on each file.] Also, the -execute option may be used to perform multiple independent operations with a single invocation of exiftool, and together with the -stay_open option provides a method for calling applications to avoid this startup overhead."
Reading the documentation I think the best way is to create a command with the parameters -execute and -stayopen ...
Can i ask you a little example of this approach?
I need to generate a .csv file because the next step for my project is a bulk insert in mysql DB.
Thanks a lot for your collaboration.

Thanks. I'll see if I can fix this when I get a chance. You should be able to find it on the wayback machine.

The exiftool application documentation explains it completely.

The
-csv option is a strange beast. I imagine you'll have some questions later...
