EXIF Filter does not work with PDF's

[svHatch]

Describe the bug exiftool from the shell works on PDF files to reveal metadata. The exif tag in organize silently skips PDF files without explanation.

Either this is on purpose, in which case there should be info either in the docs or in the output of the rule that exif doesn't work on PDF files, unlike when used from the shell.

Or, this is a feature request to include PDF files in the exif filter.

Did you set the ORGANIZE_EXIFTOOL_PATH="exiftool" variable?

Found the problem. organize was expecting a Composite key in the result dictionary, which is missing for PDFs. This will be fixed in the next version.
