auberginehill / get-exif-data Goto Github PK

Hi, got this error message while using get-exifdata.ps1 to search exifinfo from 7.5 TB of image files.
(Also wondering about whether RAW-files of different kinds are searched for EXIF-data)

Searching for image files at 1 folder recursively
select : Property "Value" cannot be found.
At H:\Get-ExifData.ps1:817 char:139

• ... ge.Properties.Item('2').Value) | select -ExpandProperty Value) -join ...

•                                  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  

  • CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (-2147024809:PSObject) [Select-Object], PSArgumentException
  • FullyQualifiedErrorId : ExpandPropertyNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SelectObjectCommand

The script runs successfully without error, however I noticed something peculiar when it is attempting to extract ASCII text strings from XP Keywords and XP comments fields. It reveals a null value when it is clear that there is a value in that specific field. I went to edit the "keywords' field by adding a single character to the existing values, then the process is able to extract it. It seems that it is only able to retrieve this value if I edit the original contents. My first assumption is that execution policy many need to be changed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
