I’ve created a quick action (Mac only) that extracts metadata from files and writes them to text files. It works as designed. If someone (@Joanna hint hint) can improve it and post it here, all the better…
List Metadata.workflow.zip (118.7 KB)
How to prepare:
- download the file and unzip it
- open it with Automator (double-click should do it)
- Convert it to quick action and give it a name you like
Prerequisite
- exiftool installed in /usr/local/bin/
How to use (also see screenshots below):
- select a folder with a few image files (don’t start with thousands of images!)
- ctrl-click on the folder icon and select the quick action
→ for each source-file, a file containing (all) tags and values is created
CAVEAT
- Use at your own risk and your risk alone
- Delivered as-is and works as designed
- Feel free to modify and improve it
