Description
This is easy to reproduce:
$ exiv2 -pp http://dev.exiv2.org/attachments/download/805/DSC_7154.jpg Preview 1: image/jpeg, 160x120 pixels, 10837 bytes $ exiv2 -ep1 http://dev.exiv2.org/attachments/download/805/DSC_7154.jpg exiv2: Overwrite `http://dev.exiv2.org/attachments/download/805/DSC_7154-preview1.jpg'? y Exiv2 exception in extract action for file http://dev.exiv2.org/attachments/download/805/DSC_7154.jpg: http://dev.exiv2.org/attachments/download/805/DSC_7154-preview1.jpg: Failed to open file (wb): No such file or directory (errno = 2) $It appears that exiv2 uses the image path to create the preview path. However for a remote file, this will usually fail because the remote server will normally be unable to create files. The user probably wants the preview to be created as a local file.
