- increment: boolean; if True (default=True), will increment file name until a non-existant name is found
|
||||
- sidecar: boolean; if True (default=False) will also write a json sidecar file with EXIF data in format readable by [exiftool](https://exiftool.org/); filename will be dest/filename.ext.json where ext is suffix of the image file (e.g. jpeg or jpg)
|
||||
|
||||
The json sidecar file can be used by exiftool to apply the metadata from the json file to the image. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import osxphotos
|
||||
|
||||
photosdb = osxphotos.PhotosDB()
|
||||
photos = photosdb.photos()
|
||||
photos[0].export("/tmp","photo_name.jpg",sidecar=True)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then
|
||||
|
||||
`exiftool -j=photo_name.jpg.json photo_name.jpg`
|
||||
|
||||
If overwrite=False and increment=False, export will fail if destination file already exists
|
||||
|
||||
Returns the full path to the exported file
