I'm not sure if this is a bug or just something to be aware of when using stay_open.

It appears that some switches (not sure how many) keep active across multiple commands when using stay_open.

Here is an example - the following three separate commands are run while exiftool remains open:

-htmlDump <filename>

-a -G1 -u <filename>

-htmlDump <filename>

The output from the second htmlDump is different from the first - the unknown tags are formatted differently.

Phil is currently away until next week, so there will be a delay in responding to this.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype
