Getting a simple exiftool command to run

Probably silly, but why can't i get this simple exiftool script to work?

@nodeselect
@leavedoswindowopen
exiftool {f}

This should display all available metadata from the file selected. And it does seem to pop up (text included), but then just disappears immediately. Is @leavedoswindowopen not right?

I've tried all sorts of things, but always the same result.
This is only a bare bones example that at least is working fine in PowerShell.

The goal was actually to print the info to a txt file with the same filename.

o_o

Somehow i managed to get a script that copies a file with the metadata stripped to work (it was a while ago), but i have a feeling that code could probably be streamlined a little.

@runonce
@noprogress
@filesonly
@disablenosel
@nodeselect
cd "{f|..}"
C:\Windows\exiftool.exe -all:all= -r -preserve -progress -pause {allfile$} -o %f_c.%e

Do you have the function type set to MS-DOS Batch Function?

It's on Standard Function (Opus or external) if that's what you mean.

There's your problem then :slight_smile:

I figured the Modifiers were opus functions, and that other script is also in 'Standard' mode. :thinking:
