[Qgis-user] plugin doesn't find exiftool executable

[Reginald Carlier]

Thanks Alexander,

I couldn't find the documentation because in the plugin manager the links point to locations which are not available.
Maybe you can edit these links. :-)

It does. Now I see, you just do it wrong and without reading documentation :-).

"ExifTool Config" field used to specify custom config file, not executable. Path to executable file should be configured in plugin settings.

Please check documentation at
https://github.com/NaturalGIS/geotag_and_import_photos/wiki

Hope this helps
