CCleaner vs Exiftool

[jbionic]

In case you haven't come across it, you could use Chocolatey to install and keep it (and other programs) up to date.  Everyday, I run a bat file with

Code Select Expand

choco upgrade all -y
pause
Chocolatey then checks the 135 programs I have installed with it and updates them if needed. kes it a lot easier.

Thanks. I've heard of programs like that. The only problem is that as any Russian I am naturally paranoid (actually, this can be  seen from above discussion and my comments related to Oliver Betz's solution, which may be perfectly fine, but I am just too stubborn to embrace it). So I am always a little bit suspicious of what updates can be brought to my computer from behind automatically if I ain't checking them personally     Sometimes I find it difficult to mollify my suspicions even in very simple cases like the following:

Sorry I ain't a technical person to understand the wording "native Strawberry Perl",

What this means is that you can use the pure Perl version of exiftool.

By '"native Strawberry Perl" package' (jbionic stripped "package" from the quote) I meant my package.

It's up to jbionic to choose between the PAR/PP version (pretending to be monolithic) and my package. He dislikes both, the PAR/PP version for it's temp dir problems, and my version because it's "third party" (though also open source).

I can't help then.
