Title: 'x' outside of string in unpack at ...
Post by: lumiere on April 23, 2022, 06:34:48 AM
Hi all,

i've run the exiftool to find all image files with no datetimeoriginal as below:

$ exiftool -filename -filemodifydate -createdate -r -if '(not $datetimeoriginal) and $filesize# > 300000 and $MIMEType=~/image/' . > no_datetimeoriginal.txt
Error opening directory ./lost+found
'x' outside of string in unpack at /home/user1/exiftool/lib/Image/ExifTool.pm line 5077.

(I use most recent production release: 12.30)
Does anybody know what does the message about 'x' mean ? Did it interrupt the exiftool ? Did the exiftool finished ?

Does it still happen if you upgrade to the current version, 12.41?

Other than that, Phil will need to look into this.

If you could figure out which file is giving the unpack error and send it to me then I can fix the problem.  My email is philharvey66 at gmail.com
