https://connect.hyland.com/t5/nuxeo-forum/problem-in-8-4-with-exiftool/m-p/316485#M3486 <P>The ticket NXP-20934 has been fixed for 8.10 and the next 7.10 hotfix.</P> Wed, 09 Nov 2016 12:21:19 GMT Florent_Guillau 2016-11-09T12:21:19Z https://connect.hyland.com/t5/nuxeo-forum/problem-in-8-4-with-exiftool/m-p/316481#M3482 <H2>BUG REPORT / QUESTION</H2> <P>At least in version 8.4 (previous versions in 8.x series untested), the nuxeo java process tries to spawn several instances of <CODE>exiftool</CODE>, but these are all spawned without any arguments. When spawned without arguments or incorrect options, <CODE>exiftool</CODE> version <CODE>9.90</CODE> redirects the user to the perldoc program of itself, which is a clever way of presenting a usage / help information in the form of self-documenting code. I cannot see in the nuxeo code where exiftool might be called without arguments, but clearly this is happening.</P> <P>A <A href="https://answers.nuxeo.com/general/q/03497f2ee9ab474ea30583258f712da3/Slow-startup-on-MAC-OS-X-Sierra-and-Exiftools-files-in-tmp-directory">post in these forums from October 2016 </A> indicates the problem also exists with nuxeo 7.10 on the Mac, which would indicate a very recent version of exiftool. So question: is this a bug? Is there a work-around?</P> <PRE><CODE>12005 ? Sl 35:07 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.102-1.b14.el7_2.x86_64/jre/bin/java 12048 ?
