Error messages after renaming file

[Oli]

   
Hi Phil,

Thanks for your program and I really love it. I got some questions when I try to rename my video  files.

I use the following command
exiftool -d %Y%m%d_%H%M_%%-c%%f.%%e  "-filename<CreateDate"

the result is perfect.
nevertheless i receive two error messages,  you can see in the attached file
" 3 images files updated
1 file weren't updated due to errors
Warning Error opening file -exiftool
Error: File not fund _exiftool
<-end-

Access violation at adress 0065CD44 in module ExiftoolGUI
read of adress 0000000.

The command create a new directory named "Par-username" which seems to be not usefull

So at each command i have to cancel the errors messages and this directory.
How to avoid ?

please help me and excuse me for my bad english.

Oli

Hi Oli,

You shouldn't put "exiftool" in the "ExifTool Direct" box of the GUI.  In this box you should only specify the options that you want.

The "Par-username" directory is extremely useful.  It contains the unpacked ExifTool modules and Perl.  If you delete this directory then it will slow down your next command because exiftool will have to unpack these again.
