Hugin preference for Exiftool not working

[J. Schneider*]

Hello,
additionally to my previous post I'v got one more problem. I thought I ask in a new thread, as it might have a different cause. Though meanwhile I think preferences not being used is probably only one problem.

In my Hugin 2021.0.0.52df0f76c700 on Windows 10 the ExifTool options in my preference
don't have an expected effect.

I have specified:
Final Exiftool argfile: D:\Pictures\hugin_exiftool_copy.arg
With the content:

-ImageDescription
-Make
-Model
-Artist
-Copyright
-GPS:all
-AllDates
-UserComment
-OwnerName
-SerialNumber

No tags are copied. Do I have to specify a path to Exiftool somewhere? No, meanwhile hugin comes with it's own copy of it.

It works fine here. Just some points to check:

* Does the log print any error messages concerning exiftool?

* Can you run exiftool in the hugin folder from the command line? (Maybe some anti virus scanner are blocking exiftool?)

* What image format and with which program do you check that nothing is copied? Not all program support EXIF/XMP in all formats.
