Hi,
I've just tried on Linux and everything seems ok :
func TestDebug(t *testing.T) {
e, err := NewExiftool()
assert.Nil(t, err)
defer e.Close()
fm := e.ExtractMetadata("testdata/foö.jpg")
assert.Equal(t, 1, len(fm))
assert.Nil(t, fm[0].Err)
}
barasher@linux:~/go/src/github.com/barasher/go-exiftool$ go test -run TestDebug -v ./...
=== RUN TestDebug
--- PASS: TestDebug (0.18s)
PASS
ok github.com/barasher/go-exiftool 0.186s
Did you tried with the charset
option ?
e, err := NewExiftool(Charset("filename=utf8"))
Keep me posted :)
Hi,
Ah, that charset
option did it! Was not aware about that, thank you so much!
Best regards, Philipp
That helped me a lot, too. Thanks.
Is there any downside to using UTF-8...? Is there a reason its not default?
Hi,
Sorry for the delay !
I did not specified utf-8 charset because of backward compatibility.
The first go-exiftool
's releases used exiftool
s default charset value. And when I introduced the Charset
specification option, I did not want to risk any regression issues for all the people that were using go-exiftool
, so I kept the same behaviour, no specifying any charset by default.
Hi,
I'm currently using
go-exiftool
on windows, and everything is working fine so far, except when trying to callExtractMetadata()
on files where the path includes special characters, e.g.foö.jpg
.The same works fine when using
exiftool.pl
directly on the command line. Not sure whether that problem is limited to windows or would also appear on Mac or Linux...Best regards, Philipp
