You can see the quotes are around the name, not the entire -author switch. For example, if the command line version were:Įxiftool -author='John Doe' /path/to/some.jpg You have to consider how you'd enter this at the command line to work out how best to translate it to AppleScript.

Yea, the authorStr value has a space like "Joe Smith"

Set cmd to "exiftool -CopyrightNotice=" & exifCopyright & " " & thisFilePath & "" I'm using Exiftool, an app that writes metadata to image files. For the life of me I can't seem to find where the error is being generated? I've got a script that appears to be using a backtick instead of an apostrophe which is causing an error in my shell script.
