Title: exiftool Windows syntax --> how to transfer to OS X?
Post by: Lameth on June 09, 2013, 03:48:01 PM
Hallo Folks,

some weeks ago I said goodbye to Windows and switched to OS X. Most things work fine but I have some troubles with one of my image preparation scripts which in includes some exiftool commands.

The following command is included in a windows cmd-script and I'd like to know how I have to modify it what it will work on a OS X machine:
exiftool.exe -q -overwrite_original -sep "," "-xmp:subject+<${model},${lens},f/${aperture},${shutterspeed} sec.,ISO ${iso}" "-xmp:hierarchicalSubject+<Technical|Camera|${model},Technical|Lens|${lens},Technical|Settings|Aperture|f/${aperture},Technical|Settings|Shutterspeed|${shutterspeed} Sek.,Technical|Settings|ISO|ISO ${iso}" -Lens= -LensModel= "%USERPROFILE%\Pictures\Lightroom\Import\*.xmp"

I tried some things but I was only able to add one item to the subjects. If I tried to include more additions in just one command, exiftool ended without doing anything.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Try changing the double quotes to single quotes.
