Could you send me the output of exiftool -J "/Users/gscar/Pictures/_Photo Processing Folders/Watched folder for import to Photos/2024.03.25-16.09.59.gs.O.orf"?

This is strange. 😕

Could you try the following in irb:

m = MiniExiftool.new("/Users/gscar/2024.03.25-16.09.59.gs.O.orf")
m.drive_mode

Thank you for following up on this. The work around is complicated, at least for me. I found earlier in trying to debug this that I had two versions of exiftoo (or rubies)l, so deleted one and added something to make sure I was finding the right Ruby installation. I’ll put that below the response to your request. And below that I did it in irb. ➜ irb Ignoring stringio-3.0.8 because its extensions are not built.

It seems that something is wrong with you PATH environment respectively your ExifTool version. Changing the PATH inside a Ruby script looks very strange to me.

Could you send me the output of the following Ruby script:

require 'mini_exiftool'
puts MiniExiftool::VERSION
puts MiniExiftool.exiftool_version

[MtnBiker]

The PATH setting is well beyond my understanding. But I ran into a problem and it turned out I had two versions of something (probably exiftool) installed and that fixed it. I also deleted the older version, but for the record, currently ``` ➜ which exiftool /opt/homebrew/bin/exiftool ➜ exiftool -ver 12.76 ``` To answer your request: ➜ ruby -v ruby 3.2.2 (2023-03-30 revision e51014f9c0) [arm64-darwin23] ➜ irb irb(main):001> require 'mini_exiftool' => true irb(main):002> puts MiniExiftool::VERSION 2.11.0 => nil irb(main):003> puts MiniExiftool.exiftool_version 12.76 => nil == ➜ gem list … mini_exiftool (2.11.0, 2.10.4) … 2.10.4 is in other ruby versions than 3.2.2 ========= In TextMate ``` #!/usr/bin/env ruby require 'mini_exiftool' puts MiniExiftool::VERSION puts MiniExiftool.exiftool_version Result: Ignoring bootsnap-1.15.0 because its extensions are not built.

I have no idea why it doesn't work. Could you send me an example image with a value for DriveMode?

Interesting to say the least. I think this says the issue is at my end. Thank you for your effort to look into this.

UPDATE: Now working. Something I cleaned up along the way. Sorry to put you through all of this. I still need the PATH though. Maybe I'll get that fixed along the way somewhere. 
mini_exiftool is very useful for me.
