I'm Trying to export all data to txt with this command
exiftool -a -u -G1 -W+! %f_%e.txt -r D:\Photo
all txt is saved to D:\Photo

When i run this command it works but i want Filename_Ext as filename
exiftool -a -u -G1 -w txt -r

Please can someone help me on the way.

i'm new to Exiftool

Photo are saved
D:\Photo\Year\Month\ Fotoname.jpg

You need to add the directory otherwise it will save to the current working directory.  You can use %d to indicate the same directory as the file or explicitly name the directory.

exiftool -a -u -G1 -W+! %d%f_%e.txt -r d:\Photo
will put the txt file in the same directory as the original images.

See the -w (textout) option and the -W option for details.
* Did you read FAQ #3 and use the command listed there?
* Please use the Code button for exiftool code/output.
 
* Please include your OS, Exiftool version, and type of file you're processing (MP4, JPG, etc).
