Error muxing images

[walent021]

Hello, I have tried to make a motion picture, however I'm getting an error and my original photo has now disappeared (I have them now as IMG_E0489.HEIC.tmp1) I have exiftool in the folder and set it at PATH.

Ah, I think there’s a problem muxing the image in place. I’ll take a look, but for now select different output file name.

[walent021]

The same applies when there's a different output name

Please try now. The file should now not be deleted even if output name is the same as input.

Also, I've expanded all filenames to full path - that should help with exiftool not being able to see the .tmp2 file (XMP tags saved to disk just before call to exiftool that crashes).

If it still crashes in the same way, could you please send me the tmp2 file? And if it does not exist, then the original heic file (I don't need the movie)

Hello, Now it's looking at the system directory validateImage : ERROR: source image file C:\Windows\system32\IMG_E0489.HEIC does not exist!

When I specify full paths for all the files, it's okay, but it's a bit cumbersome

Update: As far as motion picture is concerned, it works good. My flow was iPhone -> MacBook -> HDD -> Windows -> Android Phone -> Google Photos

Ok, now it should hopefully work. You can tell from the code that I'm a .net guy and this is my powershell hello world :-)

(Forgot to push the code change, but now it’s in…) :-)

Assuming fixed, cannot replicate and root cause identified and adressed
