Newer Exiftool version (I've tested v11.59) has better file detection capabilities

Thanks 👍

Further research lead me understand that there are missing optional packages that greatly boost exiftool detection

In order to add those:

apt-get install file cpanminus (perl package manager)
cpanm --notest File::Find Archive::Zip Compress::Raw::Zlib

Does that just allow exiftool to see inside zip files?

Please see the discussion here http://u88.n24.queensu.ca/exiftool/forum/index.php/topic,10454.0.html
