Export embedded thumbnail and ...

[herb]

... get the imagesize with only 1 call to exiftool.

Hello Phil,

I want to export an embedded image (e.g. thumbnailimage) and I also want the imagesize of the image itself.
To do one after the other is no problem and also doing it with one call to Exiftool using -execute option works perfect.

My question is: Is it also possible with one call so that Exiftool does read the image only once.

Thanks for your help in advance
Best regards
Herb

Hi Herb,

There are various ways to do this.  For example, in JSON format:

exiftool -j -b -thumbnailimage -imagesize FILE

But if you want it in binary format, there is only one way I can think of -- using the -W option:

exiftool -W tmp/%f_%t.%s -b -thumbnailimage -imagesize FILE

- Phil

Edit:  Oops.  Forgot -b in the second command.  Fixed.

Hello Phil,

thanks for your help.
The idea using %t and also %s might be useful. I will continue.
