Potential bug when Exiftool is located in a local folder

[ChrisA]

Hi

New user and first post here, so may be making a rookie mistake.

If I locate the exif tool in a folder local to the application using it, I get an error if that path has a space in it e.g.

C:\myApps\client imgs\exiftool.exe

When the console runs it displays an error message along the lines of 'Can't find application C:\myApps\client'

Renaming the folder so I have

C:\myApps\clientimgs\exiftool.exe

solves the problem.

I don't usually have spaces so did not pick this up until a client sent me a folder with a space in the name.

Edit: Just read the suggested additional info required - however for some reason the problem has gone away. So please ignore. If I'm able to replicate the issue I'll start a new thread

This isn't an exiftool error. This is normal for every command line. If a path has spaces in it, you must use quotes or if you're on Mac/Linux, you can also escape the spaces with a backslash.

You might want to use Oliver's exiftool installer. It will install exiftool into a standard location and add it to the PATH env so that it will be available without having to use the full path to the program.
