Hi,
I am brand new to EXIFTool and I am using it in conjunction with the "Duplicate Finder 2" plug-in for Lightroom Classic CC. I am working in the OS X 10.13.3 environment

In The Lightroom Plug-in Manager Find Duplicates 2 asks for a Path to EXIFTool. Right now I am using /users/name/Library/Image-ExifTool-9.35/exiftooltool but I do not beleivethat is right as  the Plug-in with ExifTool enabled is findign the duplicates I know to exist is a set of photographs from a shoot.

So what should the correct path be? 

Do I even have ExifTool installed in the correct location in my computer?

Thank you,


Phil Harvey

If you run the MacOS package installer, it puts exiftool in /usr/local/bin, which is the recommended place to install it.
