Hello,
I have the exiftool and the lib folder in a subfolder of an app. When setting the path to the exiftool executable, I find that it does not work if the path has spaces in it.
For example, this does not work:
/users/johndoe/my folder/my app/exiftool
However, when removing the spaces, this does work:
/users/johndoe/myfolder/myapp/exiftool
Is this a bug? I just downloaded and am using Exiftool version 10.05 for Mac. I am running OS X Yosemite.
Thanks,
Keith
This is a property of most, if not all, command lines. They use spaces to separate the command and the various arguments. Try enclosing the path in quotes. Single quotes for the mac, I believe. Also, since you're on a mac, if you don't want to use quotes, I think you can escape the space by putting a backslash \ in front of the space /users/johndoe/my\ folder/my app/exiftool though I could be wrong on that point.
Thanks StarGeek; that did the trick! And just to clarify, it is important to keep the space after the backslash:
This works:
/users/johndoe/my\ folder/my\ app/exiftool
But this doesn't:
/users/johndoe/my\folder/my\app/exiftool
Best Regards,
