Hi,

A limitation I am finding in a program I have like Hazel is that it can't recognize and use the "Date Taken" information (and maybe others, not sure) in HEIC files, so in order to do anything with them I need to convert them to .png or .jpeg.

Can Hazel find the "Date Taken" info on an HEIC file and use it in a rule?

I'm using Apple's image APIs for this so I guess they themselves do not support it there. I'll look into support in the future but it would be better if Apple would update their frameworks.

Can Hazel work with .heic metadata, esp. "Date Taken"?
