can someone tell me how to run a terminal command from within my program? something like if i put this in the terminal " exiftool -b -ThumbnailImage -Orientation=1 test.cr2 > thumbnail2.jpg "
Use NSTask.
Example please.
NSTask is deprecated use
'Process()'and
'Pipe()'Yes, deprecated in Swift.
In objC, NSTask still valid.
Example please. Preferably with the command I pasted.
Are you kidding ?

If you want exmple, you may search yourself.
I cannot find one. That's why I asked.
Here's what I have so far..
let params = ["/users/monicakachlon/documents/facedetect-master/face_detect_cv3.py", "test.cr2"]
let task = Process.launchedProcess(launchPath: "python", arguments: params)I get the error:
[General] launch path not accessible
Ok. I'm getting there
let paths = path! + "/" + item let thumbnailPath = "thumbnailTwo.jpg"
let taskTwo = Process.launchedProcess(launchPath: "/usr/local/bin/exiftool", arguments: ["-b","-ThumbnailImage", paths, thumbnailPath])This is an attempt at doing this: exiftool -b -ThumbnailImage test.cr2 > thumbnailTwo.jpg I don't know how to add the ">"If you want to redirect the standard output to file, you need to create an instance with `Process()`, set the properties of the instance appropriately, including the property `standardOutput`. And then launch it.
