I have been trying in vain to do this in both automator and shortcuts.
The trouble seems to be happening right at the very start. I can’t seem to figure out how to get selected files from finder to be passed as input to a shell script running exiftool.
I actually thought this might be a good thing for me to test using chatGPT for as it’s meant to be good at this type of thing and while I assume the shell scripts it was generating were probably good, it couldn’t seem to get me passed this basic first step.
I’ve tried making the shortcut a quick action, which by default adds the ‘receive’ action to the shortcut, but somehow it seems to be impossible to get the output from that to be the input for the shell script, nothing works. This was tested with a few debugging steps to log the output and it definitely looks like that first step is where things are going wrong. I really don’t get it. This was way harder than I expected.
I thought back in the day, Metadata couldn’t be modified which is what led a lot of things to be evidence in courts. Like, timestamps of photos and geo data
no it’s very easy to modify. I just wanted not to have to open up terminal and try and remember what the commands were every time I upload something to the internet
Neat. My knowledge is based on data from a long time ago since I haven’t really messed with stuff for a while. Got caught up in life and all.
