Is there a way to populate the tags field in the inspector tag field for Mac OS? In particular, I'm trying to add some tags based on a Google takeout attribute peoplename. Is this possible or is there a better way to embed descriptions/captions?

Quote"people": [{
    "name": "John Smith"
  }]

Thanks!

Yes.  FAQ 3 explains how to determine the tag name for this (but the trick is that you need to add -macos:all to the command to extract MacOS tags).  In this case it is the MacOS MDItem tag called MDItemUserTags that you should write.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
