Also Phil, not sure which file should I comment those lines out of?

I found this in the exiftool file, but I am unsure exactly which line i should comment (don't want to screw it up)

Code Select Expand

$trkfile or Error("Expecting file name for -geotag option\n"), $badCmd=1, next;
        # allow wildcards in filename
        if ($trkfile =~ /[*?]/) {
            # CORE::glob() splits on white space, so use File::Glob if possible
            my @trks;
            if ($^O eq 'MSWin32' and eval { require Win32::FindFile }) {
                # ("-charset filename=UTF8" must be set for this to work with Unicode file names)
                @trks = FindFileWindows($mt, $trkfile);
            } elsif (eval { require File::Glob }) {
                @trks = File::Glob::bsd_glob($trkfile);
            } else {
                @trks = glob($trkfile);
            }
            @trks or Error("No matching file found for -geotag option\n"), $badCmd=1, next;
            push @newValues, 'geotag='.shift(@trks) while @trks > 1;
            $trkfile = pop(@trks);
        }

Comment out this line

                @trks = File::Glob::bsd_glob($trkfile);

like this

Code Select Expand

#                @trks = File::Glob::bsd_glob($trkfile);

Okay tried that and it got rid of the error but i got a permission denied message:

Code Select Expand

[/share/Pictures02/Professional Images/2021/2021-01-16/test] # exiftool -m -make="iPhone" -model="iPhone11ProVideo" *.NEF
-sh: /share/ExifTool/exiftool: Permission denied
[/share/Pictures02/Professional Images/2021/2021-01-16/test] #

I went and checked the permissions on the ExifTool folder and on my images folder and both admin and my user account have both read/write permissions so not sure what this is

[alaska_av8r]

I even tried running this command from the same directory that the test.NEF file was located:

./exiftool test.NEF

and it gave the same Permission Denied message

This is so frustrating I may be looking for another storage solution.

[Phil Harvey]

It looks like the permissions changed when you edited the exiftool script.  Try this to change the permmissions back again.

chmod 755 /share/ExifTool/exiftool

or you may need to

sudo chmod 755 /share/ExifTool/exiftool

Phil thank you,

wooohooo we are making progress, I managed to get exif data edited on one file and the changes were noted in Lightroom, ran into some errors on others but that is likely because i am tired, I'll try again tomorrow but we have progress

after rebooting my NAS I have to enter this command to get exiftool working again,

Code Select Expand

export PATH=/share/Image-ExifTool-12.18:$PATH

I thought that command was adding exiftool to my NAS path so it would be available all the time, but after a reboot I end up with "command not found"

any ideas?

A quick google pulled up this result

[alaska_av8r]

Thanks Star, but i had it wrong...I kept researching it myself and here is what I found.

sometimes when i am typing in the commands i make a mistake and the command line goes to a different prompt like this >  , attached is an example.

I guess I am just killing terminal, because commands don't respond when this happens and I just end up restarting terminal to get it working again.

ctrl and c keys together should get you out of that.

thanks Alan!

You may have to use the "rehash" command or open a new terminal window before step 8.
