Hi Pedro,<br>

Here are some answers for your
questions:<br><br>

1) The exiftool file in your home directory is extraneous
and can be deleted.<br><br>

2) Your USERNAME is the name you log in with, but my example
was assuming
that you had ExifTool in your Desktop directory
(/Users/USERNAME/Desktop).
But instead, your ExifTool directory is actually
/usr/local/bin/Image-ExifTool-6.66<br><br>

To set your PATH to include this directory, cut and paste
the following in a Terminal
window:<br><br>

<code> echo "export
PATH=$:/usr/local/bin/Image-ExifTool-6.66"
>> ~/.bashrc
</code><br>

then open a new terminal window.  Your PATH (given by
"printenv PATH") should then
be:<br><br>

<code>
/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin/Image-ExifTool-
6.66
</code><br>

So the last entry in your path is
"/usr/local/bin/Image-ExifTool-6.66".  This is the
directory that contains "exiftool" and it's
libraries.  If this works, then you should be
able to run exiftool by just typing
"exiftool".<br><br>

If you have any more questions, please email me (phil at
owl.phy.queensu.ca).
I don't think it would be useful for others to continue this
discussion in the forum.<br><br>

Thanks.<br><br>


- Phil
