3 years ago Hello ! It's seems that exiftool is missing in your case, but it's probably not the only issue you will face, as you are running on a untested operating system.
Preview_generator rely on multiple non-python librairie to run like exiftool but also poppler, imagemagick, etc... We do use preview_generator on debian, so we don't know how to run it on windows, but if you are motivated, you can try translate the build dependency for debian/ubuntu into windows one:
apt-get install zlib1g-dev libjpeg-dev python3-pythonmagick inkscape xvfb poppler-utils libfile-mimeinfo-perl qpdf libimage-exiftool-perl ufraw-batch ffmpeg(from https://github.com/algoo/preview-generator#installation) I suggest you first installing exiftool and see how far you get with it.
An alternative solution depending on what you need may be simply running the code in debian.

HI,
It appears pyexifinfo is halting my installation. What a crap shoot. How do I solve this?
