ExifTool executed - No Data

[roelofdevries]

Hi All,

Illthough I saw that ExiftoolGUI is currenty unsupported, I hope you alle know something about the problem I encounter on my W7 machine.

Ive downloaded the lastest version of Exiftool and ExiftoolGUI, followed the installation proces (renaming Exiftool -> to Windows Dir -> expanding ExiftoolGIU -> Leave it on desktop in a directory)
When I open a NEF-file, I'll see all the metadata. When I open the same jpg (shot on a Nikon Camera as RAW+Fine) I dont see any exif-data. I do see it in Lightroom though. ExiftoolGUI gives me 'Exiftool executed - No Data'.

Does anybody know why this happens?

Regards.

Hi Roelof,

Just to make sure there is nothing funning happening with ExifTool, could you try running the command from a "cmd" window?

exiftool "c:\some directory\file.jpg"

Hey Phil, I tried that. Exiftool itself is running fine because I can see an exif-dump on the commandline. Good thing to know!
Then again, its strange that a NEF works in the GUI and a jpg does not. Any idea?

THNX! Roelof

That's a real mystery.  My only guess was that the exiftool installation was corrupted somehow, which could potentially affect  JPG but not NEF, but that isn't the problem if it works at the command line.
