How to use it on Windows？ #35

I have put the 'exiftool.exe' in %PATH%, but it still got 'Error when intializing: error when executing commande: exec: "exiftool": executable file not found in %PATH%'

go-exiftool has been developed on Linux and never tested on Windows. The exiftool binary that go-exiftool is looking for has to be named exiftool, without any file extension. On Windows it is not exiftool but exiftool.exe. Here is the bug. I'll have a look this week.

On v1.6.1 :

on windows, by default, exiftool.exe will be looked for in $PATH
you can specify an exiftool binary path using SetExiftoolBinaryPath functional option
