I wanted to traverse my media directory and chart out how many different file name extensions do I have. Therefore I *would* have used something like this
exiftool -r -p "$directory\$filename" -w+ "MyDIR\%e.txt" MyDir
That would have given me one file for each distinct extension and in that file a list of all images with that extension. That would have been very useful.
For that I just invented (??) a new syntax for the option: "-w" namely "-w+" which does exactly the same thing as "-w", but it *appends* to the file named after the option.
This is probably very easy to program and would be useful, I think. What do yo think?
Cheers, Mixx
