Hello Phil,
today I installed Exiftool version 10.66 on my WIN7 system. But my C++ application has problems with this new version.
Exiftool is started with -stay_open option. To perform a task "-execute111\r\n" is sent.
It looks like that exiftool does not respond or that the response has changed.
In debug I have seen that after the task has been performed Exiftool responds with: "1 output files created\r\n{ready-}\r\n"
but my application is waiting for: "1 output files created\r\n{ready111}\r\n"
For me it looks like that this an error in Exiftool.
Thanks for your comments in advance
Best regards
Herb
Hi Herb,
Thanks for this bug report, and sorry for the inconvenience.
ExifTool 10.67 (just released) fixes this.
(The problem occurred because I patched ExifTool 10.66 to accept a Unicode minus sign as well as an ASCII hyphen as the first character of "-execute", which had the unexpected side-effect of causing the hyphen to get captured for the "{ready}" message.)

P.S. I'm glad that you caught this early, before it affected too many people.
Hello Phil,
thanks for the correction in version 10.67.
I did a quick check and Exiftool works again as expected.
Thanks again and
Best regards
Herb
I just noticed that 1.66 had failed my suite of pre-release checks, but I missed the warning in the output. :(
I'll have to be more careful about checking this.
