I have some files that exiftool does not like.
For example, a tiff which elicits an error message when attempting to do anything with it:
Invalid type '-' at Image/ExifTool.pm line 3791.
I guess the file is wonky, but the problem is that exiftool (when encountering one of these problem files) is aborting with an exit code of 255 when using stay-open mode, which is causing problems for me.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Rob
Hi Rob,
Thanks for the report.
If you send any sample that causes a problem to me (philharvey66 at gmail.com), I'll fix it.

Hi Rob,
I got the file, thanks.
Wow. This particular problem only affects Canon EOS 40D images that were corrupted in a very specific way. Way to trigger this extreme fringe vulnerability. It will be fixed in ExifTool 9.77.

Edit: Looking closer at this image, the culprit software that caused this problem appears to be Nikon Capture NX.
