ExifTool Forum

Hello. I faced strange problem, and can not find the answer.
I was using ExifTool for a while, but few days ago noticed, that my usual "scripts" stopped working, with the same reason for all "scripts"
C:\Program Files (x86)\Portable\ExifTool>exiftool.exe -@ args_mamiya.txt MMFC0061.tiff
Warning: Error opening file - /MMFC0061.MEF
    0 image files updated
    1 image files unchanged

args_mamiya.txt is very simple:
-tagsfromfile
%d/%8f.MEF
-overwrite_original
-MakerNotes=
-orientation<idf0:Orientation

I verified that ExifTool can read metadata from the corresponding raw file:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Portable\ExifTool>exiftool.exe -s -G1 MMFC0061.MEF
[ExifTool]      ExifToolVersion                 : 10.60
[System]        FileName                        : MMFC0061.MEF
[System]        Directory                       : .
[System]        FileSize                        : 35 MB
[System]        FileModifyDate                  : 2018:01:03 09:44:34+02:00
[System]        FileAccessDate                  : 2018:01:06 10:02:48+02:00
[System]        FileCreateDate                  : 2018:01:06 10:02:48+02:00
[System]        FilePermissions                 : rw-rw-rw-
[File]          FileType                        : MEF
...

And the same problem is for all "scripts" I'm using.

Could anybody help me please?

Did you already check you have write permission on those files and directories?

You shouldn't have a "/" between %d and %f in your -tagsFromFile argument.

Sure.

Oh, thank you! Don't have an idea where it came from.

But now I have next problem:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Portable\ExifTool>exiftool.exe -@ args_mamiya.txt MMFC0061.tiff
Warning: No writable tags set from MMFC0061.MEF
    0 image files updated
    1 image files unchanged

To be precise - I want to set Orientation tag from MEF. ExifTool says:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Portable\ExifTool>exiftool.exe -s -G1 MMFC0061.MEF
...
[IFD0]          Orientation                     : Rotate 90 CW

So it can read MEF.

It should be spelt "ifd0", not "idf0" in your argfile.
