Problem with -if command line option

Posted on 2009-06-29 12:29:08-07 by ropewalker

Hello, there is an example in the doc which seems not to work for me:

exiftool -shutterspeed -if '$make eq "Canon"' dir

The condition failes, but I do not know why. I use windows command line application.
checking the make in the dir:

D:\Foto\2009\06\2009-06-07>exiftool -make . ======== ./IMG_20090607_094808_5249.JPG Make : Canon ======== ./IMG_20090607_094810_5250.JPG Make : Canon ======== ./IMG_20090607_094836_5252.JPG Make : Canon ...

D:\Foto\2009\06\2009-06-07>exiftool -shutterspeed -if '$make eq "Canon"' . 1 directories scanned 56 files failed condition 0 image files read

What am I doing wrong? Thanks

You need to use double quotes in Windows:

exiftool -shutterspeed -if "$make eq 'Canon'" dir
