Hi Chris,

All of these quirks/bugs/oversights are just the way the Photoshop stores this information.  If ExifTool isn't reporting LayerSections it is because this information doesn't exist in the file.

...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 ($).

OK. I didn't know how it worked. Just thought I'd let you know in case you choose to amend on the next release. Thanks!

Hey Phil, looks like there's an issue with the LayerSections not reporting a Divider when it gets around 6 levels deep. See Flags.png attached which shows the discrepancy between 15/16 and 20/21, where </Layer Group> is being flagged as a Layer instead of a Divider. Included the .psd as well. Thanks!

Interesting.  It looks like you basically should ignore the LayerSection if the name is "</Layer group>".
