Saving an output CSV to source directory

[frereroy]

exiftool -csv -f -r -icc_profile:ProfileDescription /Users/roy/Desktop/historique > roytest2.csv 

I was wondering if there was a simple instruction to save my roytest2.csv to my /Users/roy/Desktop/historique folder (i.e. default source folder) without having to assign the full path.

Knowing the cryptic genius of exiftool I suspect that there probably is!

No, because this is file redirection, which is something handled by the command line (CMD/Terminal/bash).  Exiftool doesn't even see the > roytest2.csv part of the command.

The -csv option is a bit limited in controlling the output.  See also FAQ #12 "How do I export information from exiftool to a database?"

Excelent explanation. I fully understand now. Many thanks.
