Hello,

Is it possible to extract any metadata from folders such as creation date of a folder?

In addition, is it possible to export folder names and characters such as "ç" or "ä" or "ã" into CSV format with the parameter -csv? When I use this parameters they don't show properly on the CSV.

Thanks in advance,

Israel Les.

No.  ExifTool operates only on files.

This should work on Mac/Linux, but special characters don't work in Windows file/directory names.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
