AEBBracketValue

Hi! When I run this test it works fine for me:

do shell script "exiftool -S -s '-AEBBracketValue' /Volumes/work/image.JPG"

"+5/3"
When I run this test it don't works:

set output to do shell script "exiftool -S -s '-AutoExposureBracketing' /Volumes/work/image.JPG" if output contains "5" then do shell script "exiftool '-filename<${AEBBracketValue}_%f.%e' /Volumes/work/image.JPG -directory +=/Volumes/work/+AV/" end if

For example this woks fine too:

set output to do shell script "exiftool -S -s '-AutoExposureBracketing' /Volumes/work/image.JPG" if output does not contain "X" then do shell script "exiftool '-filename<${AEBBracketValue}_%f.%e' /Volumes/work/image.JPG -directory +=/Volumes/work/+AV/" end if

Thanks! Mikle

Hi Mikle,

I'm not sure I can help here. It seems the only difference between what works and what doesn't work is the condition:

if output contains "5" then

Either the output doesn't contain "5", or this statement isn't doing what you expected. But I'm no AppleScript expert, so I can't help if that is the case.

Phil!
What is the format of a message "+5/3" ?
Why not find "5" to "+5/3" , or "0" to "0", " 1" to "123" ect
Yes , I am still weak in the AppleScript, but it may cause in a format of "+5/3" ?
Thanks!
Mikle

Re: AEBBracketValue

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you are asking. I have never written any AppleScript, so I can't help at all with that.

Re: AEBBracketValue

Phil!
I have a series of images with AutoExposureBracketing (+AV , 0 ,+AV) in /IMAGE folder.
I want a script that can sort and move photos to folders: /IMAGE/+AV/, /IMAGE/0/ and /IMAGE/-AV/.
Help me write it on the shell. I should be grateful!
P.S. I use MetaDataMove, but I do not need a folder with different names. It does so
I need a folders with permanent names to automate the operation of the APP program in processing HDR QTVR panoramas.
/IMAGE - is temporary folder and files will be erased.

Re: AEBBracketValue

I'm not clear about why you want a script to do this since you should be able to do it with a single exiftool command. Your biggest problem is that the AEBBracketValue's contain slashes (ie. "+5/3"), which of course will create additional subdirectories when used in a filename, which isn't what you want. To avoid this, you could create a user-defined tag (MyAEB) which prints the AEBBracketValue as a floating point with one decimal place. And you can use another user-defined tag to set the directory name you want:

'Image::ExifTool::Composite' => { MyAEB => { Desire => 'AEBBracketValue', ValueConv => '$val ? sprintf("%+.1f", $val) : "0"', }, MyDir => { Desire => 'AEBBracketValue', ValueConv => '$val ? ($val > 0 ? "+AV" : "-AV") : "0"', }, },

Then a command like this should move and rename the files as you indicated:

exiftool "-filename</IMAGE/${MyDir}/${MyAEB}_%f.%e" /IMAGE
