Re: Config file for unknown tags
Hi Bogdan,

Glad you got it working. ExifTool looks in the exiftool application directory and your HOME directory, and only defaults to the current directory if the HOME directory can not be determined. Usually, on Windows your HOME directory is c:\Documents and Settings\USER, but this depends on your environment settings. You can also set the EXIFTOOL_HOME environment variable to load the config file from wherever you want (ie. I think the syntax on windows should be something like "set EXIFTOOL_HOME some_directory", but don't quote me on that). But probably putting the config file in the application directory as you have done is easiest.
