(you could, btw, apply changes before importing to Lightroom, but I have to see the pictures myself, to make sure that they are indeed from the lens I'm thinking of).Ģ) I open up terminal (in your utilities folder, or type in terminal in Spotlight) and a command line terminal interface opens up.ģ) I then cut and past text that I keep in a txt document in my desktop, right into terminal. At this point, of course, you have to actually know which lens you shot with. So, I use the metadata filter, and search for "unknown lens" in my recent imports. Here's one location: ExifTool by Phil Harvey)ġ) I import my photos into Lightroom, and because I switch lenses, not all my pictures are from a legacy lens. Here's my workflow (you have to find and download EXIFtool from the internet. Ugh.Īfter much experimenting, I've found the settings to update lens data to my image files.

Extract the extended filesystem attribute cleanup into a single NPM package, or C/C++ tool with Node CAPI extension.

Find an existing command tool, perhaps C/C++ or Powershell that cleans Windows extended filesystem attrs.

If possible find a single tool that deals with all the Linux file systems uniformly.

There is probably variation between the Linux filesystems.

research the extended filesystem attributes more.

Investigate if there are any extended filesystem attributes that mdls -c still leaves behind and how to deal with them.

Or pass multiple files at once to a single process per-CPU core.

If possible figure out a way to keep the mdls process alive in a process pool and keep them alive to process multiple files to minimize process overhead, like is done with exiftool.

spin up an extra mdls process to read extended filesystem attributes in the “# exif before” column, then another one with the -c flag to clear them, then another one to populate the “# exif after” column.
