Can this be expanded to support RAW images? Specifically MRW
(Konica-Minolta)?

If how would I get into the OS X hooks for handling this? Maybe this
isn't a Ruby question and I'll have to go elsewhere. I'm a Newbie to
Ruby (groan), but OS X supports many RAW formats.

I have Appscript, so assume that's the path, but was hoping to avoid
that for awhile.

Thanks for any clues.

Maybe you can use MiniExiftool (http://miniexiftool.ruby...) wich
can handle (read and write) meta-data of many file formats inclusive
raw-formats such as MRW. :)

I will not implement any vendor specific decoding in the near future.

Fantastic. This is what I wanted. I just got back to trying to write my
script after reading a couple of the books. When I got to the EXIF part
I found ExifTool and despair that nothing was available that would
handle MRW using Ruby, until I revisited MiniExifTool. I think in part
the name threw me. This tool is in no way mini.

I'm also finding Ruby easier to write than AppleScript. I could rarely
get anything to work without help. But Ruby syntax is easier to deal
with.

Nice to hear. :)

I've updated the project description. The "mini" has nothing to do with
the functionality only with the concept of writing only a wrapper to a
command-line application which is a lightweight approach that brings
maximal functionality with *mini*mal work. :)

Now you've got it.

PS. While you're updating, the Perl program is authored by "Phil
Harvey." Minor typo.

Thanks for the hint. Typos (it was also in the Documentation) fixed.
