Dealing with filenames starting with a hyphen "-"

[obetz]

Hi all,

anybody out there working with filenames starting with a hyphen, e.g. "-foo.jpg" or even "-ver"?

Although this would be no more "Posix portable", it's allowed by the OS.

What is a clean way to pass such a filename to ExifTool, prepending with "./"?

Yes.  Put the directory name before the file name if the file name begins with a dash.
