Recursive parsing and creating a CSV

[SK]

My network folders are of the form:

\\mynetwork\photos\1992
\\mynetwork\photos\1993

etc

The command below extracts only photos directory without going down the path. In the example above I want to parse ALL the folders in photos directory (1992 & 1993 and the sub folders as well). What are the options I need to use in the following command?

exiftool -csv -r \\mynetwork\photos\*.* > photos.csv

Have you already tried removing the *.*?

[SK]

Yes that worked! Thank you

To clarify what happened, -r only works on directories and *.* is asking for filenames.

Or, more precisely, match anything with a dot in it (which your directories didn't).

This is common mistake 2c.
