#Xnconvert create error update#

What keeps me from posting an update to the AppleScript is the fact that GetFileInfo and SetFile are marked as deprecated as of Xcode 6. Those commands are part of the Command Line Tools that can easily be installed from Xcode preferences, if they don't already exist on your system. SetFile -m path/to/file.pngto write the creation and modification date back to the written png Nconvert is installed (I just tried it in the Terminal), but I seem to recall an issue I had with a script I was working on where I used the wrong quote character. I don't understand the syntax though.īy the way, the script you posted gave me an error message saying: sh: nconvert: command not found UPDATE: I looked further into this and it appears the ' stat' command can be used to display information about a file, so maybe it can be used to read eh date/time from the original file, then 'touch -t' (together with the date/time just obtained) to write the PNG file's time/date. Maybe 'touch -t' can be used in this script to read from the original IMG file's Creation Date, and use that to write the converted PNG file's Creation Date. Touch -t `exiftool -s -s -s -d '%Y%m%d%H%M.%S' -DateTimeOriginal '$f'` '$f' & touch '$f'

# update file Modification date of processed files if then # compare DateTimeOriginal EXIF tag with file Creation date, overwrite file Creation date if different # exiftool -q -if '$dateTimeOriginal and substr($dateTimeOriginal,0,19) ne substr($MDItemFSCreationDate,0,19)' -aaa '$f' I might be mistaken about the details as it's a while since I looked into that.įor f in write DateTimeOriginal EXIF date-tag if not present

#Xnconvert create error code#

If I'm not mistaken, the section which I've colored in red is the part of the code which seems to read the time/date from the Exiftool '-DateTimeOriginal' tag which then uses the 'touch -t' command to do the actual filename date change. Perhaps some of the code from that script can be used here as well?

#Xnconvert create error install#

So I had to install Xcode (or was it the command line tools which IIRC was just a few commands and not the entire Xcode suite).

I assume you're referring to the 'touch' command, right?Ī while back I worked on (and got a lot of help from various forums) a solution using EXIFtool in order to create a drag & drop script for adding EXIF information to scanned images (which don't have that info to start with), and another script for restoring the file creation date from the EXIF data (which Adobe Lightroom messes up and time-stamps with the current date whenever an image is edited). Perhaps something needs to be done in OSX in order to disassociate the IMG extension as a disk image (I would normally do a 'Get info' on an IMG file, choose the application to open it by default in 'Open with:' (followed by 'Change all' if I want all IMG files to be opened by that app), but that only works with apps and not plugins as far as I know.). I installed it and reset Quicklook as instructed, but it still won't open IMG files by selecting them and pressing the spacebar. Then I came across Recoil which is a Quicklook plugin. I also tried XNconvert, only to get an error message saying 'XNconvert can't be opened, you should move it to the trash'.

#Xnconvert create error mac#

I expected XNview to do it (I think it handled it in the past), but for the Mac it's now called XNview MP ( XNview is only for Windows) but if I'm not mistaken, both of them should handle over 500 formats including 'Digital Research (GEMpaint) IMG' which is listed there), but it's not working for me. IMG image files (Atari GEM/Digital Research on the Mac? Graphic Converter works, but at US$ 40 is a bit costly for this only task. What's the easiest (and hopefully free/low cost) way to view or convert.
