Hi Phil

The latest release notes state that "Changed application to always exit with an error status if an error is encountered when extracting information".  Can you elaborate a little, please?  I'm interested in what to expect when using the stay_open option.  Does the application exit completely or does it only stop the read process of the current file?

Thanks
Uwe

Hi Uwe,

This does not affect the -stay_open usage because the application doesn't exit.  It only affects the return code when the application exits.  I can see how my description is misleading with respect to -stay_open.  I'll try to come up with a better wording.

Edit: I changed it to this:

"Changed application to always return an error status when exiting if an error was encountered when extracting information"
...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

Thanks, Phil, appreciate it.
