Title: Extracting metadata from folders & csv encoding
Post by: israellesg on April 24, 2014, 04:54:48 AM
Hello,

Is it possible to extract any metadata from folders such as creation date of a folder?

In addition, is it possible to export folder names and characters such as "ç" or "ä" or "ã" into CSV format with the parameter -csv? When I use this parameters they don't show properly on the CSV.

Thanks in advance,

Israel Les.

No.  ExifTool operates only on files.

This should work on Mac/Linux, but special characters don't work in Windows file/directory names.
