exiftool cannot support UNICODE

Post by wuxian1001 »

when I check exif of images,I fing that images with UNICODE filenames or paths cannot be recognised by exiftool.
Would you please make exiftool support UNICODE?

I guess exiftool doesn't support unicode.
So would you use another tool to show exif?
