Multi-Rename Tool Plugin EXIF only with admin rights

[aprev]

Exif Plugin Properties in the Multi Rename Tool are only available if Total Commander has been started by an user in Win 11 with admin rights.
Otherwise EXIF properties list is empty.
Can this be changed? Bug or limitation? Otherwise a warning should be shown that this is only possible with admin rights.
Thank you!

Not confirmed. Do you mean that there are no properties you can choose, or the returned property values are empty?
The former would mean that TC could not load the EXIF plugin, e.g. due to missing rights.
The latter would mean that the files containing rhe EXIF values can only be accessed with admin rights.

ok strage. now I can see the EXIF Properties...

What happens:
Working with Admin Account. TC installed with EXIF plugin. Works fine.
Then after some months. User changed from Admin to standard user.
File access not a problem. But no values in property list of EXIF plugin

Then I started TC with Admin rights with another user with Admin rights and I created this post with the "bug".
I had to reinstall the exif plugin for this admin user because TC was standard without any user specific settings.

Now I realized that it now also works with my limited user again.
I don't know what the problem was. Maybe a special case.

Thank you!

Nice to hear that you got it working again! Total Commander probably couldn't find or access the plugin.
