Hallo, I don't know how to set "TAB" as a delimiter using the new (great!) feature "[-csvDelim <STR>]"

Yes, tabs on the command line are tricky.  I found this with a quick Google.

If this doesn't help, then you can make an argfile containing two lines:

-csvdelim
<tab>


and use the exiftool -@ option to read arguments from this file.

But maybe it would be better if ExifTool allowed C-style escapes in the -csvdelim argument.  I'll think about this.

...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 ($).

Version 12.12 enhances the -csvDelim option to allow a tab to be specified with \t.
