extract binary content in stay_open mode

[romain]

Hello,

I'm trying to use the stay open mode to extract binary content.
For example, when I write this in my file :

-if $previewimage
-m
-b
-previewimage
-w /tmp/PreviewImage%c.jpg
/path/to/myfile.jpg
-execute

Exiftool does not write file but extract binary content to stdout.

Is it a bug or a misuse ?

This is an easy trap to fall into.  Try this:

Code Select Expand

-if
$previewimage
-m
-b
-previewimage
-w
/tmp/PreviewImage%c.jpg
/path/to/myfile.jpg
-execute
