Title: Shuter count
Post by: CES on February 26, 2017, 08:58:01 AM
I have installed exiftool on my iMac. When I drag the desktop file (DSC_2750.jpg) I want data for into the terminal window I get "pattern not found".
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.

I don't know what that error is, but try typing this in a Terminal window:

exiftool ~/Desktop/DSC_2750.jpg

Dragging and dropping should work (after typing "exiftool" then space) instead of typing the file name.

Thank you Phil.  That worked perfectly.
