When working on a file full of folders, exiftool can take quite a while the process, making it look as if "nothing is happening." Is there a way to tell exiftool to display the list of files as they processed? Turning on -v creates a much more detailed output than I am interested in for this purpose.
Try the -progress option.
Thanks very much! The ExifTool documentation is excellent, among the best I've seen, but that completeness means it's often hard to find what one is looking for!
