[pyExifToolGUI] ExifTool not Found Mac OS X El Capitan

[bergjet]

I have install the exiftool 10.10.dmg. There was in usr/local/bin
Then i have install the exiftoolgui.app
But "exiftool gui" does not find exiftool. I've done all folders visible. (defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1)

PH Edit: Changed subject name to include "pyExifToolGUI"

I don't know what GUI you are talking about, but the ExifToolGUI discussed here is Windows only.

Ok,
its the ExifToolGUI for Mac.

[Phil Harvey]

I don't recall seeing this GUI before.  Where did you get it?

- Phil

[bergjet]

sorry

I haven't tried pyExifToolGUI myself, but most likely /usr/local/bin is not in your path. To check: open a terminal window and type echo $PATH, and to see if exifTool is actually running, type which exiftool and finally exiftool -ver. This will tell us where exiftool is installed and if it actually works.

Further questions, what version of OS X are your running, and how do you start pyExifToolGUI?

Cheers,
Hayo

iMac:~ Martin$ echo $PATH
/Library/Application Support/GoodSync:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
iMac:~ Martin$ which exiftool
/usr/local/bin/exiftool
iMac:~ Martin$ exiftool -ver
10.10

OS X 10.11.3
I start pyExifToolGUI from the Applications Folder pyExifToolGUI.app

[Phil Harvey]

Ah.  The Python GUI.  I would suggest trying Hayo's suggestion and specifying /usr/local/bin directly in the script.

Phil, you make the proposal?

[Phil Harvey]

The name of the exiftool app is set on line 115 of petgfunctions.py, but there appears to be an option to specify an alternate location (line 113).  I didn't quickly find the documentation about the options and how to specify the alternate location, but you might look into this.

The option opens the Finder. But the finder shows me not to the hidden directory. Although I have said "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1".

[Phil Harvey]

OK then, try putting exiftool (and its "lib" directory) on your Desktop or somewhere you can see with the Finder.

Which Lib Directory?

[Hayo Baan]

The lib directory of exiftool

[bergjet]

exiftool is in the directory usr/local/bin/
I have make a copy from the bin directory to the desktop. But it does not work.
