Use the ExifTool version that comes with digiKam; others are untested. You may be using a Windows ExifTool version from another vendor; I often read about problems like this in the ExifTool forum. If we need the log excerpt from the start of ExifTool service. Maik
Mike, how can I to the log you need? I get the exiftool from the original site, digiKam -> exiftool -> download where do I find the "one it comes with digikam"? under the folder I do see exiftool_files but is not an exe is a perl script
ExifTool is located in the root of the digiKam installation directory. Maik
ok, but should I use the exe or perl? maybe that was the issue :)
The exiftool.exe is a wrapper for the perl script. Uses the exe under Windows...
MassimoS, Did you seen my last comment ? Gilles Caulier
Sorry for late answer. I've added the one from the digiKam installation and it appear to work. The standard exec downloaded from the exiftool site does not work. I'll test again
