v0.5.0 AttributeError: 'ExifTool' object has no attribute 'get_metadata_batch' and 'get_metadata'

[manuel1957]

After update to 0.5.0 (Successfully installed pyexiftool-0.5.0) I get two problems: first one the parameter executable_ from Exiftool doesn' t exist I have to replace by executable second one methods 'get_metadata_batch' or 'get_metadata' doesn't exist and if I have a look at the documentation there are always here AttributeError: 'ExifTool' object has no attribute 'get_metadata_batch' AttributeError: 'ExifTool' object has no attribute 'get_metadata'

Could you help?

@manuel1957 the executable_, yes is renamed to executable

• ExifTool no longer has the get_metadata functions... it now lives in ExifToolHelper, so declare with exiftool.ExifToolHelper
• get_metadata_batch doesn't exist anymore (the naming and use-case was pretty confusing). It was removed since it was largely equivalent to get_metadata

So in your use case, anywhere where you used get_metadata, change that to get_metadata()[0] and anywhere you used get_metadata_batch, replace that with get_metadata

Documentation is still being updated. It should reflect these changes soon when I get the new stuff pushed out https://github.com/sylikc/pyexiftool/issues/28#issuecomment-1056032848

@manuel1957 this is the method signature for your use case. https://sylikc.github.io/pyexiftool/reference/2-helper.html#exiftool.ExifToolHelper.get_metadata

Please let me know if you have further issues
