surrealroad Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) Purpose Shows metadata for a file in Alfred Usage To use, either type "meta /path/to/file" or use the file actions "Metadata (Show)" and "Metadata (Copy to Clipboard)" on a selected file. "Show" will display each metadata attribute separately in Alfred, with the actioned one copied to the clipboard. "Copy to clipboard" will copy all metadata found for the item. Currently works best on media files, only rudimentary data will be returned for other types. Credit to open source application MediaInfo 0.7.7 for doing the heavy lifting (please consider donating there if you find this useful), as well as openmeta for ratings and tags Download http://bit.ly/2iZdA9J Note: This extension is about 4 MB. Source: https://github.com/surrealroad/alfred-file-metadata Changelog Thursday, 4 September 2014 – Updated MediaInfo to 0.7.7 Sunday, 31 March 2013 – Includes spotlight comments, openmeta ratings and tags Wednesday, 20 March 2013 – First release.

adayzdone Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Cool Script. Here is a script I wrote that uses ExifTool to access the metadata... ExitTool Service Link to comment

hzlzh Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 The workflow file is a little big but very useful. Link to comment
surrealroad Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 The workflow file is a little big but very useful. That's a good point actually. I'll add a note in the description. Link to comment
Davide Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 @Jack James Great and thanks for the Open Metadata. Trifle: All headlines are with upper case, "tags" not. Link to comment
surrealroad Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Trifle: All headlines are with upper case, "tags" not. Good catch. Updated the workflow. Link to comment
politicus Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Great workflow. Any plan to make it work with folders? Link to comment
surrealroad Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 Great workflow. Any plan to make it work with folders? In what way? Folders don't have any properties that would make this workflow useful Link to comment
politicus Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Properties I find interesting: Sizes, Comments, Sharing & Permissions. Can be accessed via CMD+I. But, you know... Maybe resetting my keybooard shortcut would be cleverer Link to comment
