Hi!
I have a Sony A7-3 and so my photos are ARW-Files with some little XMP-info.
Based on the "rating" info I want to sort my photos.
I'm not just familiar with deep dives in hazel, I'm the overall king of writing complex scripts. In fact, I have exactly one simple row for a OCRmyPDF, that's all. So please be kind and type slowly so that I can keep up !

So, I have hazel 5.1.1
I have exiftool from today
I know, when I bash

Code: Select all

exiftool file.arw -rating

... I get the correct value back.
Now my (much too simple) question is, how can I motivate a robot to read my files and sort them into the right subfolder?
It can be easy-scripted. If there's a script that reads rating=5 and sorts it into folder5, it's ok. I can do the same script for the other rating numbers.

thank you in advance!

If you want to pass that value back to Hazel, you will need to use AppleScript. You can have AppleScript execute a shell script. Check the chapter in the help on AppleScript on how to pass the value back. If you run into specific problems, post back here.
