Title: Simple Mac OS X exiftool usage
Post by: macmacmac on September 26, 2011, 08:47:35 AM
Maybe this is well known, I didn't search.
Anyway, to get the exif data of an image quickly using OS X:

1) Launch the Terminal app
2) Type exiftool followed by a blank
3) Drag and drop the image file into the terminal window
4) Hit RETURN

Yes. This is a neat feature of the OS X Termal app.  You can also drop multiple files and folders and it works great too!

Good work and thanks a lot for this free tool.
