Hi Phil,
Thank you so much for making this tool available to us. I can see that a HUGE amount of work has gone into it and I appreciate it very much.
I seem to be stuck and I need some help please...
I am trying to place metadata into images so that we can use slideshow software to play the images and show the metadata at the same time.
In this case, I am trying to parse the judges' comments from a contest so that they fit nicely on the screen.
I am making OS calls from within a Python program (I am a newbie) and I can get the code to work nicely on a MAC but not on Windows 10. As you can see, I get the error message "No file specified". I have experimented with cf/lf vs. lf, putting ^ at the end of lines, but I don't seem to be getting anywhere. Please help!

I guess I didn't do enough reading beforehand.
This is explained in FAQ 21.
