Here's example output for a single file using default settings (no optional arguments) - it's not real user-friendly.įile Modification Date/Time : 2013:04:04 13:40:40-05:00įile Access Date/Time : 2013:04:06 14:03:47-05:00įile Creation Date/Time : 2013:04:06 14:03:47-05:00Įxif Byte Order : Little-endian (Intel, II) Once the terminal is launched, you should be able to execute the EXIFTool against one or more images. You can turn this off by simply unchecking the 'New Terminal at Folder' checkbox under System Preferences. You should now be able to right-click in the Finder and select Services > New Terminal at Folder to launch a terminal on the selected folder. Find 'New Terminal at Folder' in the settings and click the box. Under System Preferences, select Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services.Instead, I suggest enabling the service that allows launching the terminal against the current folder: Note that by default, the terminal window will open on your home folder, so you'd have to navigate to the folder where your images reside. EXIFTool should work but the EXIFToolGUI graphical front-end will not, meaning you'll be entering a textual world that you may not be familiar with. Sorry, I'm not a Mac user but the might help - if you really want to bother. I downloaded the 'Mac' version, so, one would think it might be supposed to work on a 'Mac'. OK, I can accept that, even if I don't understand it. It supports Windows, Mac, and Unix.įor Windows, there's a front-end EXIFToolGUI which provides a windows-based interface but EXIFToolGUI appears to support Windows only. There was something about typing in a 'Terminal Window' - whatever THAT is.ĮXIFTool is a command-line utility, so it typically requires a terminal (text) window to run it. I downloaded and installed this on my iMac, but cannot find it anywhere in my computer to use it. I prefer using EXIFTool and EXIFToolGUI along with a custom file so what I see matches what my camera's menus present. As with all Nir Sofer utilities, it is effective, small (98 KB), portable (no installation - just unzip to a folder of choice), and free. There are several exif data viewers available, but a product from Nir Sofer always catches my interest.
