Hello, this is my first time here...
I am trying to remove all date and time info from an image using commands:
-overwrite_original_in_place
-alldates=
{Files}
but I keep getting the following error message:
Warning: [minor] Entries in IFD2 were out of sequence. Fixed.
Error: Bad format (0) for IFD2 entry 0
0 image files updated
1 files weren't updated due to errors
ExifToolGUI generates numerous error messages, e.g.: Bad IFD2 offset for tag 0x0003; Bad IFD2 offset for tag 0x0003; Bad format (8224) for IFD2 entry 5; Bad format (22064) for IFD2 entry 10; [Minor] Too many warnings -- IFD2 parsing aborted (did not copy all of them).
I used these commands in the past without problems and I do not understand what is going on now. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pavel.
Hi Pavel,
There is a problem with the image in question. It has been corrupted somehow.
What type of file is this? JPEG, TIFF?

Hi Phil,
Thanks, this is a JPEG file and in fact it seems that I have many files taken over a period of several months affected by the same problem. Would a sample image help you? I found a workaround, though - I was able to remove all metadata; this worked without problems.
You can rebuild the metadata of the image to fix this problem. See FAQ 20 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q20) for more information.
