Looks like GeoLocation500 zip file has extra directory

Hi Phil,

Just happened to open the zip file
https://exiftool.org/Geolocation500-20250311.zip

It looks to me that the subdirectory Geolocation_out in the zip is not intended. The .dat and .pm files are (almost) duplicates from the ones in the parent directory.

Wow, thanks!  Surpised I missed that one.  I'll have to check my scripts to see how that could have happened.

The files in the Geolocation_out directory should be in the root directory of the archive in place of the other files.  I've updated the zip file on the web site.

Edit:  Ah, I see how this could happen, and have updated my scripts so it shouldn't happen again.
...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 ($).
