Remove Metatags from JPEG fails

Hi,

I'm using the following commands to bulk remove all metadata from some jpegs in a flatview lister. Those JPGs are located in different subfolders. But this does not matter, because when selecting just one, the same error occurs.

@Confirm:Remove all METADATA from selected files?|Yes|No
SetAttr META * 

When executing this command, I get this error below:
grafik

It says, that the "Syntax for the filename, foldername or the volumename is wrong". Those files are located on a memory stick, btw.

When copying those file to my local harddidsk/SSD, the command works as expected. The stick is formatted with FAT32 and has no filesystem errors. I just copied those files I would like to wipe out the metadata a few seconds before w/o any issues.

Any clue on how I can solve this?
Thanks!

Edit: Strange things happens: the command IS removing metadata from the file, I can see DO creates a temporary file and after deleting it, the above popup appears. And what's more, the metadata of the resulting file has been cleared.
Anyway, performing this action on multiple files results in multiple error popups as well, so no chance for a comfortable usage so far.

And when skipping the conflicted files
grafik
the command finishes as expected.

Thanks for reporting this. It looks like it can happen when running that command on devices that don't support NTFS ADS metadata.

We have a fix in the pipeline.
