Your help is wanted

As you may have noticed, ExifToolGui has translations in a few languages. Many translations have been done with Deepl.com. For some languges, especially Chinese, I could use help to verify the correctness of the translations. If you have remarks please add your comments to the issues created for that purpose.

Version V6.3.3

Warning

July 11, 2024
It looks like MS Defender now accepts that the V633 installer is no virus. Today I was able to download and install it without virus reports.

But.... Now another problem has revealed. ExifTool by Phil Harvey has changed, and as a consequence the installer is not able to download and install automatically. ExifTool provided by Oliver Betz still works.
I'm working on a solution, but it will require changing the installer.

July 2, 2024
I have a request to all people who believe, like me, that the installer is no malware/virus.
Please report to MS that this is a false positive. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission
It may help. Thanks in advance.

Note: If you submit the file to VirusTotal, only 3 out of 74 report it as a virus.

June 21, 2024
Upon downloading the installer MS Defender may report: Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml
Changing the compression to zip only worked for 2 weeks!
Will postpone development on the project for the time being. Sorry.

Version V6.3.2

Warning

As of June 2, 2024 Windows Defender started preventing download of the installer. When you download via Chrome, or Edge, you may get a message 'Virus detected'.
I believe this is a false positive, and reported this to MS.
Awaiting response....

Update June 4.
No answer from MS. But downloading is again possible. 'Virus detected' does not appear in Chrome anymore.

Update June 5.
MS has changed its mind. Apparently it is a virus, only which?
Downloading with Edge: Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.H!ml
Downloading with Chrome: Trojan:Win32/Vigorf.A

And things get even worse....
If you download the Source code and unzip it flags ExifToolGui.CHS as WIN32/QQPass. That is the language DLL for Simplified Chinese (Win32) I find it hard to believe there's a virus in a language DLL. But who am I?

Update June 7.
Removed the V6.3.2 installer due to continuing problems.
Added V6.3.3 release
