Subject: ExifTool: Windows stand alone: -r cannot get to work

Help? (and thank you), ??? I LOVE THE TOOL.? I have jpgs all over the place. Sometimes copies are made in several places. I was outputting information so I could identify photos based on EXIF data.? I got several things working (incrementally verifying each part).? The next step is to have the execution handle sub-folders.? Here is the execution string: C:\RJM_Apps\ExifTool>exiftool -r -t -S?-FileName -Directory -FileSize -FileModifyDate -ImageWidth -ImageHeight -Make -Model -DateTimeOriginal -ExifImageWidth -ExifImageHeight? "C:\RJM_Apps\ExifTool\Photos\*.*" > out.txt ??? SETUP:? I added a sub-folder to \Photos\ and put in 8 small jpgs.? I verified that there existed valid EXIF data (although not necessary because EXIFTool reports FileName, etc even without EXIF data).? Just to make sure ExifTool could process the JPG from the sub-folder.? ExifTool processed each file (including NON-image files) but not the sub-folder. ?? Thanks, ????????Bob Massey INFO:?

A patch against the latest released version of this distribution which fixes this bug.
Hi Bob, Questions like this are better asked in the exiftool forum (http://www.cpanforum.com/dist/ Image-ExifTool) instead of being posted here as bugs. This question is easily answered by reading the exiftool application documentation: -r (-recurse) Recursively process files in subdirectories. Only meaningful if FILE is a directory name. So you must drop the "*.*" from your file name specification. - Phil
