if EXPR and feedback

[cocteau]

Hi all,

with "-if EXPR" there are the following feedback.

    42 directories scanned
   118 files failed condition
  3659 image files updated

But what are these "failed condition" and "updated"?
there is a special parameter-log * FILE *?

You can use the -v option to give verbose output which includes the information you are looking for.

wish-list: rather have two new parameters
* -olog=file (for stdOut to a file)
* -elog=file (for StdErr to a file)

In any bourne shell, you can do this:

exiftool ... >stdout.log 2>stderr.log

This may also work in Windows, but I can't say for sure.
