Title: Mac OS Inspector Tag Field
Post by: klvnstudios on September 24, 2022, 02:05:39 AM
Is there a way to populate the tags field in the inspector tag field for Mac OS? In particular, I'm trying to add some tags based on a Google takeout attribute peoplename. Is this possible or is there a better way to embed descriptions/captions?

Quote"people": [{
    "name": "John Smith"
  }]

Thanks!

Yes.  FAQ 3 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q3) explains how to determine the tag name for this (but the trick is that you need to add -macos:all to the command to extract MacOS tags).  In this case it is the MacOS MDItem tag (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/MacOS.html#MDItem) called MDItemUserTags that you should write.
