I am interested, as I am trying to learn more about Automator apps. Are you calling the Automator app as an external editor in PM? Or making it a Folder Action that works on your Ingest destination?
Hi,
I'm calling the apps as external editors. I thought I was going to be able to call exiftool directly, or use shell scripts, but I found that the only thing that would actually run when called from PM were macOS .app files. I'm not sure if I was doing something wrong or not but Automator does produce .app files, so an acceptable workaround.
I wrote a handful of these little apps to handle camera specific metadata bits I wanted easier access to and to deal with the sidecar incompatibilities between PM and Capture One. (Moving sidecar data to embedded and back. This was the biggest pain point in figuring out how to use PM.)
Here, if the attachment makes it and at the risk of showing something stupid, is a simple example for moving the Fuji film mode to Instructions.
The first step just gets whatever files PM passes to it and filters out any file types that don't make sense. Then exiftool is called twice, once for .RAF files where I update its sidecar, and again for everything else, which updates embedded data.
