Re: exiftool.exe error renaming
This is the right spot to ask that question.

It sounds like somehow you don't have permission to rename the original file. These are the steps that exiftool takes when writing an image:

1) Write modified image to "FILE_exiftool_tmp".
2) Rename original image to "FILE_original".
3) Rename temporary file to "FILE".

This is failing at step number 2. Check the permissions on the image. I'm not familiar with the how to do this in Windows, but hopefully you know how or maybe someone else can help here.
