If anyone can suggest a simply way of supporting this, without adding tags one by one, which is very slow, it would be much appreciated.<br /><br />2) It has come to light that a better option to use with the exiftool is −overwrite_original_in_place instead of −overwrite_original. The problem with overwrite_original is that it makes a copy of the original and then deletes it, which can mess up the MetaData tags. It is essential to change this in the above script for the following script to work.<br /><br />3) Yes, a new script! I just published it - see the next post. This one copies Picasa name tags to OpenMeta and Windows format so that it can be indexed by the Mac and Windows search engines.Christopher Reevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04161806954273210787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620914744458182852.post-70461225492943438972012-04-16T13:07:45.627+01:002012-04-16T13:07:45.627+01:00I forgot to mention another thing about using Open...I forgot to mention another thing about using OpenMeta on Mac is that your tags can be lost if you need to revert to a backup of your files. However, OpenMeta apparently creates its own backup in <br /><br />Library>Application Support>OpenMeta <br /><br />Make sure to back this folder up if you use OpenMeta. There is some discussion about this here:<br />http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1021<br /><br />All the more reason to copy the tags to the EXIF data of your photos. Although, another word of warning: Mac has another way of telling when a file was modified or created than is set in the EXIF data. Thus, if you modify your EXIF tags and do not rename the files to include the date in the format YYYY.MM.DD...JPG then you could have no way of displaying the pictures in chronological order.Christopher Reevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04161806954273210787noreply@blogger.com
