Ability to read binary output from command

Open cowwoc opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

I am trying to implement https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/a/51036/2570 using your library.

There doesn't seem to be a way to invoke exiftool with arbitrary options and get back an InputStream for reading the binary output. Also, I'd like to use this in conjunction with -stay_open.

We would also need to read binary data from an exif attribute. Any chance to move this forward?

Hi @cowwoc & @EugenMayer, Not sure to understand your needs can you share some code with the "ideal" API you would like to use? Or can you give more details of what you want to do, and I'll find a way to implement it :)

And needless to say I would be happy to review a PR :)
