Hi Phil.

There has been a change of behavior between version 10.40 and 10.65.  I noticed it using the API but it also manifests itself in the command line version.  "flash" followed by "flash#" behaves differently.

egremont:Image-ExifTool-10.40 alan$ ./exiftool -G -a -flash -flash#   ~/photographs/photo/2017/scuba.February/f200_4365.jpg -ver

Code Select
10.40
[EXIF]          Flash                           : On, Fired
[EXIF]          Flash                           : 9


egremont:Image-ExifTool-10.40 alan$ exiftool -G -a -flash -flash#   ~/photographs/photo/2017/scuba.February/f200_4365.jpg -ver

Code Select
10.65
[EXIF]          Flash                           : 9
[EXIF]          Flash                           : 9

"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

Yes, there were problems in this area that had existed for a while, but are fixed now.

You should update to version 10.67

...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 ($).
