  • Usage outside photos database
    2 projects | /r/osxphotos | 4 Mar 2023
    It's not currently possible to use osxphotos with photos outside of the Photos.app nor is this a use case I plan to support. osxphotos is very tightly coupled to Photos.app. However, there are other apps that may help. For example elodie is another command line tool that automatically files photos using a customizable naming scheme. I'm the author of osxphotos and I have a similar app, autofile that, like elodie, can automatically file photos (and other file types) based on a customizable template (using the same template language as osxphotos). Unfortunately autofile currently only runs on MacOS but I am working on a re-write that will allow it to run on Windows and Linux. For your use case I think elodie is probably the best option at the moment.

  • How to get image content labels without using Apple Photos
    1 project | /r/osxphotos | 12 Feb 2023
    Good question. I wasn't aware Ventura did this so I'm not aware of where the data might be kept. I'll take a look to see if I can find anything. I have another project, osxmetadata that can list and edit metadata. Perhaps there's an attribute that stores these. I'm surprised mdls doesn't list the labels.
