According to the package metadata, the Debian maintainer of exif is: Maintainer: Debian PhotoTools Maintainers <[email protected]> > <incal> for f in **/*.jpg; do exif --remove -o $f $f; done | grep 'Wrote > file' | wc -l # 2277 (1st invocation) I hope you're not using bash here. If you are, the "$f" instances need to be double-quoted, or else this is going to fail spectacularly on filenames with whitespace or globbing characters. Of course, ** doesn't work by default in bash; you have to enable it with shopt -s globstar beforehand. The fact that you didn't show this step, however, doesn't prove you're in a non-bash shell. > <incal> for f in **/*.jpg; do exif --remove -o $f $f; done | grep 'Wrote > file' | wc -l # 2277 (2nd invocation) I don't know what the intended behaviof of "exif --remove -o file file" is. I'm imagining that it's like "sed -i" which always opens and writes a new instance of the file, even if no changes are made. > <incal> Debian should remove that from the man page then, i.e. exif(1) Remove what? Perhaps what you actually want is additional clarity about how the --remove option (or the -o option) works. In any case, if you want to file a Debian bug report, see <https://www.debian.org/Bugs/>.
