Thinking about what the command line options will be for initial design. Here's my basic thoughts:

exif2findertags --tag EXIF_TAG --comment EXIF_TAG --tag-value EXIF_TAG --all-tags --all-exif --all-iptc --all-xmp -g FILES

Where:

• --tag EXIF_TAG converts EXIF_TAG into a keyword
• --comment EXIF_TAG appends EXIF_TAG to the Finder comments field
• --tag-value EXIF_TAG creates a Finder tag/keyword with just the value of the EXIF_TAG, for example, XMP:PersonInImage="John Doe" would result in Finder keyword of John Doe
• --all-tags converts all tags to finder keywords
• --all-exif converts all tags in EXIF group to Finder keywords
• --all-iptc converts all tags in IPTC group to Finder keywords
• --all-xmp converts all tags in XMP group to Finder keywords
• -g works like -g in exiftool and includes the group name in the tag, e.g. "EXIF:Make" instead of "Make"

Examples: exif2findertags --tag Make --tag Model --comment ImageDescription file.jpg would produce finder tags/keywords like: Make: Canon, Model: G10 and Finder comment would be something like "This is a photo of my dog".

exif2findertags --all-exif -g file.jpg would result in Finder keywords like: EXIF:Make: Canon, EXIF:Model: G10, EXIF:ISO 800, etc.

Also should have an ini file option, for example:

exif2findertags --ini file.ini file.jpg

Where file.ini would look something like:

[tags]
Make
Model
ISO

[tag_value]
PersonInImage

[comment]
ImageDescription
