Delete all metdata using ExifTool direct

[Quisquose]

I successfully managed to use the command exiftool -all:all= -r /path/to/files/ in a command console window to remove all metadata from one specified file.

I would like to be able to do the same thing but using a saved predefined preset in the ExifTool direct command line of ExifTool GUI, but I can't figure out how the command (shown above) needs to be amended to work there.

I tried all sorts of variations, but I either got an error message or the status bar said: "1 image files unchanged" (sic)

Can anybody let me know the correct syntax to use please?

Thanks

Obligatory ExifToolGUI no longer has support post, as per the sticky thread in this sub-forum.

There should already be a menu item (see Remove Metadata under the Modify Menu docs) so you might try that first.

But otherwise, I would guess you would just remove exiftool and the file paths
-all:all= -r
See ExifTool direct panel docs
