Now you've got it.

Thanks Jeremy. I have the book and it's over my head. But Black's book
arrived today. I ordered it because it is supposed to be a good
intermediate book.

I had looked up all the ARGV refs in Pickaxe and they didn't make much
sense. I get "require," but still am learning what needs to be
"required" and what's built in. I think I can see how ARGV will be
useful, because eventually I'll be processing all the files in a folder.

I'm running from TextMate in OS X, so wasn't thinking command line
(which I use infrequently), so I'll pull in the file paths some other
way.

You may be interested in using ruby-osa (http://rubyosa.rubyforge.org/\)

Much to learn and thanks again.

No worries, have fun and enjoy yourself.

Since exifr doesn't support Raw images (see separate posting), I also
have to dig into the hooks to apps in the Mac OS to read the exif for
Raw. But now that I've got Black I'll put some time in with that before
working on my own project too much.

That would be cool. Interfacing ruby with CoreImage, you may want to
follow the RubyCocoa project, from their website it says that the
unstable branch supports CoreImage (via QuartzCore),

http://rubycocoa.sourceforge.net/doc/unstable/

I haven't played with any of these yet, but they do look fun.

Plus I have to take a vacation to Utah and Colorado in the next two
weeks. Poor me.

If you hit anywhere near Boulder, CO I'll stand you to a beverage of
your choice. If you happen to make here on May 15, the Boulder/Denver
Ruby Users group is meeting.

enjoy,

Thanks for the hint. Typos (it was also in the Documentation) fixed.

Ruby Cocoa looks like a bit much for me to tackle yet.

How about Telluride? We're going to the Mountain Film Festival over
Memorial Day Weekend? Beers on me.

Sorry, running the BolderBoulder on Memorial Day. And Telluride is not
exactly near Boulder, its just short 7 hour drive :-).

Oh well, next time.

Enjoy the Film Festival.

Next time. How long is the run? Answered my own question. Looks like a
big event from the web page. Good luck. We're mountain biking Moab and
Fruita before Telluride and also in Telluride.

I did install RubyCocoa. Will be handy later when I want to put on a
GUI. Is it CoreImage I'd need. I'm not going to change the image or
display it, but I need the meta data. I'll find out eventually. I think
it's in Image Events. I just have to figure out the dictionary and how
to write it in Ruby via Appscript.

While looking around for things dealing with this thread, I happened
upon exiv2[1], which is an Exif and IPTC tag reader/writer. And as it
turns out there are ruby bindings to it already. You can use macports
to install the original library and then use gem to install the ruby
bindings[2] to it. The documentation is a little lacking for the ruby
bindings, but it is quite fun too play around with. I'm already
thinking of a few uses for it.

enjoy,

I have to use some OS X apps anyway, so I think I'll try using those via
Appscsript rather than getting more confused trying to use exiv. iMagine
Photo and Image Events are two that come to mind.

But thanks for the suggestion
