Had the same error. The folder "\exiftool_files\" does not exist. I created this folder and copied the files from the downloaded file "exiftool-12.89_32.zip\exiftool-12.89_32\exiftool_files" to it. I suspect EXIFTOOLS has changed its folder structure. |

Thanks a lot @EdiSagi. Seems to work. I didn't find exiftool-12.89_32.zip but moved all new files from \tools\ to the new \exiftool_files folder. Hopefully, it didn't create some other problems. |

For my part, I use ExifTool outside of GeoSetter. So I created a directory (d:\ExifTool\Current) and I placed any new version of ExifTool there. For GeoSetter, in the file "config.ini" section "[ExifTool]", I configured this line CustomPath=D:\exiftool\current |

Had same problem after update. This seems to add one more shaky patch to keep GS going... which is one next step towards reducing usability, since GS appears to face no new developments, corrections, versions or even maintenance in any foreseeable future... |

I tried the same solution suggested by EdiSagi; in my case, although I had clicked "install" latest exiftool version, no exiftool files or folders or zips were created anywhere relating to the most recent versions. So I made the requested folder and copied there all exiftool files from the latest version I could find which was in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\GeoSetter_beta\tools (plus probably several spurious files that were in the same folder). This probably duplicated a lot of files but apparently worked. But I guess there will be problems with all future exiftool versions... One more crack in our beloved GS building... |

@zava and @xyzzy the problem was reported a second time and @othmarmarti suggested a better workaround here: https://www.geosetter.de/mantis/view.php?id=2548 |

@WilfriedB: It all depends on each person’s goals. Personally, I prefer to separate ExifTool installations and its updates independently from other software that uses it. I agree with you that GeoSetter should follow the evolution of ExifTool. But as we no longer have any news from @Friedemann on these next developments, we have to "deal with it". :( |

The solution by https://geosetter.de/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=2742 (https://geosetter.de/mantis/view.php?id=2547#c4832) works perfectly for me. This way one can keep a centralized ExifTooll installation that is easy to update. Also, I have some scripts that use ExifTool to do various things (rename files according to CreateDate, inject metadata into video files, etc). |

thanks @EdiSagi and @xyzzy on the idea to work around the problem Just for anyone that pull the ExifTool package through WinGet (winget install -e --id OliverBetz.ExifTool) ExifTools install path will be inside the localappdata C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Programs\ExifTool %localappdata%\Programs\ExifTool just testing with the config.ini file and confirm that it doesn't take the environment variables path so will need to use the full path for successful example: CustomPath=C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Programs\ExifTool for failure example: CustomPath=%localappdata%\Programs\ExifTool |

Same problem with exiftool_files....suggested solutions don't work for me. Think I've corrupted the proggie with all the tinkering, uninstall/reinstall: "Can't locate strict.pm in @INC " |
|
|
The work-around that works for me: rollback to GS-Beta v4.0.47 which installs exiftool 12.56 in the correct folder...ignore update nag screen on opening. I'll live with missing the fixes to 4.0.49. |
