If the bat file is being run, it will be creating a text file also called 'DSC_8524.JPG.txt ' that has the crop dimensions in there. Did you install exiftool on your PC?

Since you are using files on your e: drive, change the script to write e: as the first line of the bat file instead of c:, I think that will fix it.

Did you get this working or do you still need help?

Ok, my guess is that the commandline processor can't find exiftool.
If you replace exit with cmd in your bat file the command window should stay open so you can read any errors. I think it will say " 'exiftool' is not recongized . . ."
If that is the case you can either add the folder that contains exiftool to the dos path or use the full path to exiftool in the bat file "c:\perl\bin\exiftool"

You're correct, can you walk me through fixing the problem please.
I've also got exiftool(-k) on my desktop.

As you also have the standalone version just rename exiftool(-k).exe on your desktop to exiftool.exe and copy or move it the the windows folder.
CMD will be able to find it now and you text file should have 4 lines.

Thanks Mike
It's working great, would it be possible to get the script to delete the text file when it's finished with it, also would it be possible to leave crop open?
