I am at my wit's end trying to use lensTagger. I do have this response that Error: 1 - Failed to run the command.

My command line in LR6:

C:\Users\Edwin\Documents\LR Plugins\LensTagger-1.9.1.lrplugin/exiftool

I am not giving up yet! Thank you in anticipation that someone will point me in the right direction.

FYI, I have placed Exiftool in the same folder as LensTagger and I have also removed "-K" from the file name.

Have you tried opening up a CMD window and running it directly?  Something like this to see if it's working right?
"C:\Users\Edwin\Documents\LR Plugins\LensTagger-1.9.1.lrplugin\exiftool"
* 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).

Just tried as per suggestion and it is working. Not sure if my path in the command line is correct.

I any case I shall install lenstagger and load exiftool again.

I have just downloaded  LensTaggern and exiftool again, but I am still have having the same error message - "Failed to run command".

Not sure if this has caused the problem - exiftool(-k) was renamed exiftool.

My current command line read like this:

C:\Users\Edwin\Documents\LR Plugins\LensTagger-1.9.1.lrplugin/exiftool.

Exiftool is placed in LR Plugins folder.

Try making sure all the slashes are slashes in the tagger
C:\Users\Edwin\Documents\LR Plugins\LensTagger-1.9.1.lrplugin\exiftool

I wouldn't think it would be the problem, but who knows.

Also, if you have antivirus running, make an exception for LR tagger and exiftool to see if that helps.

Otherwise, I don't think there's much that we can do here.  Exiftool works for you, just not from the tagger.  You could try asking the author of Lenstagger.

I am pleased to report that the issue is resolved  :D This what I have done:

1. Placed LensTagger and Exiftool in the same drive as I have stored my LR photos which is an external HD.
2. Changed command line in the path to just "exiftool".

I believe this has something to do with the Path, but I am not able to explain as I have little knowledge about the computer system!

Thank you for trying to assist.

Hmmm...  Now I suspect it has to do with the space in the path name.  Putting quotes around the full path might fix it.
