I just tried exiftool now so have the current version, never tried it before.\n I am using windows XP Home edition.\n It works in windows safe mode.\n I have trie first the windows executable. \n today i have install active perl and got the perl distribution. \n This gives the same result. \n a standard simple perl rename script wich i wrote and tested on the same jpg file gives no problems. \n Hmm how do i get a linefeed in this forum working?\n
