Hello Folks - Newbie alert and non-technical person here.

I have read FAQ 12 on how to extract tags to a CSV along with a couple of forum posts (https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=10460.msg55227#msg55227) on a similar topic. But  I am doing something wrong so hoping someone can help.

I have a an external HDD which is labeled as E form in my windows 10 machine.

The HDD has a folder called Pictures - No Folders. So the full Path is E:\Pictures - No Folders

I am trying to extract the tags of all images in the folder into a csv file and am typing the following but it is creating a blank file.

exiftool -csv >/Pictures - No Folders/out.csv

Thanks in adavance.

hello,

if you are using win10, did you try :
exiftool -csv -r -tag1 -tag2 "E:\Pictures - No Folders" > export.csv
-csv = to export in csv
-r = recursive
-tag1 = replace by the tagname you want to see.

if you want to export all tags : -all

As sevy shows, quotes are needed around any filepath with a space in it on Windows. 
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype
