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 "
Running a Terminal Command from my MacOS App
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.
