I am trying to reduce the steps that I am involved in with image processing and have a Bash script that I use to reduce the file size, add keywords, person in image and description that needs to be called during the process. I even added tests to ensure my calling the Bash script was working such as opening Safari and opening a web site.
The problem is, that the exif commands are not being processed, nor the reduce file size for that matter. If I open the Bashs cript in the terminal, no problems, but if I call it externally, it's a no go.
Any ideas???
#!/bin/bash
open /Applications/Safari.app
open http://www.apple.com
# Define the maximum width and height you want for the images
max_width=1500
max_height=1500
# Find all images and resize them
find . -type f \( -iname \*.jpg -o -iname \*.jpeg -o -iname \*.png -o -iname \*.gif -o -iname \*.bmp \) -exec mogrify -resize "${max_width}x${max_height}" {} +
# Doing multiple commands together and overwrite Original (keyword, description and person)
exiftool "-XMP-dc:Subject+<=%dKeyword.txt" "-personinimage<=%dpersoninimage.txt" "-iptc:Caption-Abstract<=%dDescription.txt" -ext jpg -r -overwrite_original FOLDER
The Folder is the complete path to the folder.
This is a common problem when running any script in a different environment. Either it doesn't have the required permissions or some of the required environment variables are not set properly.

Thanks Phil
that actually helped a great deal!
Add /usr/local/bin/ before the exiftool command under Run Shell Script. E.g., /usr/local/bin/exiftool ...
