Title: Can the duplication settings be adjusted?
Post by: digicolllib on September 11, 2018, 09:29:22 AM
Hi, All--

I am looking to adjust the duplication options for Exiftool. I don't mind having the duplicates (of course), but the addition of "_original" to the end of my file names means the items are no longer ".tif" files, but instead become ".tif_original" files that require more intervention. Is there a way to adjust the duplication and renaming so it won't do this?

Thanks!

There are no options for changing how the backup files are named, but you can add the Overwrite_Original option (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#overwrite_original) to suppress their creation.
