Does not work with big amount of files

[asannikov]

I'm looping big ~10k files using this call for each iteration:
fileInfos := et.ExtractMetadata(file)

After the ~7k loops the program hangs. I debugged a bit and found that it hangs in https://github.com/barasher/go-exiftool/blob/master/exiftool.go#L121 on the line: fmt.Fprintln(e.stdin, executeArg)

i tried to run the same file in 10k loops. Works fine. With the different files does not work.

Can it be that e.stdin is overflowed?

I'll try to reproduce the bug at home, this weekend.
I'll have some holidays starting next week, for a month, so I'm unfortunately not sure that it will be fixed "quickly" :(

@barasher, thank you for your quick response.
This is not a problem, i'll add another interesting statistic in the meanwhile. have a good holidays!

@barasher i solved that issue in the MR #9
it does nothing with big amount of files. The problem is in the overflowed token buffer.
