Output folder

When writing exiftool output to a file, the file is created in the directory where the command is executed.

exiftool -r -csv "-PreservedFileName" "-FileName" "-Directory" "." > output.csv Writes output.csv to /media/pics when the command is executed in that folder.

The jExifToolGUI parameter -csv "-PreservedFileName" "-FileName" "-Directory" > output.csv will write the output to the home folder.

How can I make a parameter with output to the selected folder?

I do not actively support the app anymore, but where do you currently set this parameter in jExifToolGUI? In the "Your Commands" tab? If so, it should work.

I use the parameter field in the tab "ExifTool commands" with the folder selected in "Use all images in this folder". There is an output, but in the home directoriy not in the selected folder.

And why don't ytou use the csv output from the menu. That will write into the same folder as where the images are.

Also: why don't you use -r -csv "-PreservedFileName" "-FileName" "-Directory" "<real_path" > output.csv. where <real_path> could be /media/pics If you start exifool from a program, your "." is most probably referring to your user environment.
