Tag suffix "#" does not work on linux

[chandrasekar]

Suffixing "#" to tag (disable format) does not seem to work on linux console (tried with Ubuntu 10.4).

Executing command: exiftool -GPSLatitude# IMG.JPG resulted in the following error: Warning: Invalid tag name 'GPSLatitude#' - IMG.JPG

The command works fine on windows (print GPS latitude in decimal format). Quick search on google and it looks like # need not be escaped on linux. Any idea what is going on?

Note: Removing # prints the GPS latitude (formatted string) on linux console.

This feature was added in version 7.97.

Use "exiftool -ver" to see what version you are running.
