Reading metadata with exiftool
ok, let's bounce 1 around , see if has elegant solution!
i'd read metadata in images/sidecars, lr doesn't display, , put information custom fields. while great have direct access - ie sdk should let read xmp data files or additional_metadata sql table - in in absence using exiftool extract information. hit roadblock lrtasks can send correct command line, lrtasks.execute returns 0 or 1, os exit message, , not exiftool string.
so i'm forced @ alternatives. 1 make exiftool generate temporary file, , attempt read that. other ideas - or support above feature request ?
