Here are a couple more command-line tricks that may be
useful to you:<br /><br />
In OS X, you can use the "open FILE" command at
the command line,
and it will do the same thing as if you had double-clicked
on the file.
For example, typing this:<br /><br />
<code>exiftool -h ~/Desktop/test/60512F-01.CR2 >
out.html
open out.html
</code><br />
Creates an output HTML file called "out.html" from
information in the
specified image, then opens "out.html" in your
default browser (probably
Safari).<br /><br />
Another tip is that you can use the TAB key to avoid a lot
of typing. This
tip applies to any system, including OS X, Unix and Windows.
The TAB
will complete any unambiguous partial command or file name,
so usually
it is only necessary to type the first few characters of
each word. For instance,
in the above example, what I would actually type is more
like this:<br /><br />
<code> exift[TAB] -h ~/De[TAB]605[TAB] > out.html
open out.[TAB]
</code><br />
where "[TAB]" represents a press of the TAB
key.<br /><br />
I sort of take all this stuff for granted now, but I thought
it might be useful
to mention because you may not know about these tricks
yet.<br /><br />
