-sourcefile > .csv error

[_rach_]

Hello guys,

i m on Debian 10 stable,

Code Select Expand

exiftool -ver 11.16

there is a bug when export the tag -sourcefile on .csv, its seems to a problem with UPPER/UNDERcase detection and some character added before the path.

Can you show me the steps I would need to reproduce this problem?

Code Select Expand

cd /myDESTdirectory
exiftool -SourceFile /mySRCdirectory/ > myfile.csv

[Phil Harvey]

I can't reproduce this with ExifTool 11.16 on redhat linux:

Code Select Expand

$ Image-ExifTool-11.16/exiftool -sourcefile mySRCdirectory/ > out.txt
$ cat out.txt
======== mySRCdirectory/b.jpg
======== mySRCdirectory/a.jpg
    1 directories scanned
    2 image files read
$ uname -r
2.6.32-754.11.1.el6.x86_64

But note that this command will not produce any output since there is no SourceFile tag.

Also, I couldn't use a top-level directory name because I don't have root permission to create one on this system.

oooh! my bad, its not an error, its a bad [option].
The good code is:

Code Select Expand

exiftool -a -sourcefile -csv ./  > file.csv

very sorry Phil

this topic must be moved ...

OK, great.  Glad you figured it out.  I'll leave the topic here in case anyone else runs into the same problem.
