Hello,
with
-geotag={File.Path}20240604_153859.gpx it's ok
but it does not work with
-geotag={File.Path}*.gpx
Error message: Warning: Error opening GPS file 'H:\Photos...\temp\*.gpx' in File:Geotag (ValueConvInv)
Are wildcards not provided here or is my syntax of the arguments for the ECP wrong?
Best regards, Uwe

What?

I guess  you're trying to do something with the ExifTool Command Processor?
Like importing a GPX file?

From the warning, it looks like your syntax is wrong. Check the ExifTool web site for documentation and usage examples.

To import GPX files, IMatch users usually use the convenient import feature provided by the Map Panel (GPX Track Log Import) and don't fiddle around with the ExifTool Command Processor. Any reason why you do it that way?

Hello Mario,
I have not focussed on the map panel so far. Now after your tip - thanks for that. It's quite easy to write the geodata from the GPX file to the photos in the map panel, so the ECP is not needed for this.
Thank you, Uwe
