Phil,

I'm afraid I was not very clear about what I don't understand. Encodings and translations is a terrain only partly familiar to me. So I wonder how it all works when, while -L denotes the txt file character set as Latin1 (cp1252), the file's character set is Greek (cp1253). To be more exact, various text editors recognize the file as ANSI, but the underlying code page in Windows for Greek is cp1253. So exiftool is told to write cp1252 and writes in fluent cp1253 :-) It suits me fine, but I'd rather understand it than not :-)

Regards,
pdi
