Hi,
Please forgive my ignorance about this technology.
I am a programmer, whose brother just asked me a favor. He has just purchased Photo Mechanic to enter information into images with. He has asked me if I can build a User Interface where he can do queries and run reports on the data in the images and send that data into a spreadsheet such as Excel or Numbers (a Macintosh spreadsheet program).
He's going to send me more information about what he wants tomorrow... but I'm so curious about how I can best help him that I did some searching of the web this evening and found this site.
He prefers to use a Macintosh and I usually program for Windows. Right now I'm programming Dot Net Windows Applications, but I can program anything.
My question: How do I quickly make him (or obtain for him if there already is one) such a User Interface.
Again. thank you for your patience with me, as I am an absolute newbee with this technology... Though I am a quick study.
Best Regards,
Anne
Hi Anne,
I can't help you with the user interface, but you can certainly use ExifTool in either Windows or on the Mac to handle the import/export of metadata. See FAQ number 12 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q12) for some examples of exporting information to a database.

Thank you so much Phil!
