problem with unicode filenames on windows

[agriggio]

Hi again,
I am having troubles making -@ work with unicode file names on windows. I'm using -charset filename=utf8 as specified in the docs, but for me this works only for the first file name in the command list. Any subsequent unicode file name results in an error. For example, using this cmd.txt:

Code Select Expand

-Make
nüÀ and spaces.nef
-execute
-Model
nüÀ and spaces.nef
-execute

and running exiftool.exe -charset filename=utf8 -@ cmd.txt I get this:

Code Select Expand

C:\>exiftool.exe -charset filename=utf8 -@ cmd.txt
Make                            : NIKON CORPORATION
Error: File not found - nüÀ and spaces.nef

Any idea on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Each command between -execute options is separate.  You need the -charset filename=utf8 for each command.  Try this:

exiftool -@ cmd.txt -common_args -charset filename=utf8

Great, thanks!

Type the Unicode character code, press ALT, and then press X to insert it. For instance, write 0024, press ALT, and then press X to type the dollar sign ($).
