MacOS Finder Exiftool extension

[greybeard]

Would there be any interest in an extension that runs Exiftool directly from the MacOS Finder?

See attached screenshot of the Finder in gallery view which shows a preview of an image. When the ExifAction icon at the bottom of the Finder display is clicked Exiftool runs and displays the results in a separate window.

The basic principles are:
- runs from any Finder view (list, column, gallery or icons)
- select one or more image files and click the ExifAction icon within Finder to run Exiftool and display the results
- default or custom Exiftool commands (for example with/without unknowns, sort/no sort tags, short or descriptive tag names etc etc)
- does not require that Exiftool be installed on the computer
- allows user to keep control of when a new version of Exiftool is used
- access to the Exiftool output as a text file
- in its basic form does not require any knowledge of Exiftool syntax or the use of the MacOS terminal
- sandboxed and notarized by Apple to avoid any special installation techniques
