If I remember correctly when you run darktable on MacOS it uses a "system" version of the path and not the user's path. We used to try and use which to find commands and it would work on the command line, but not from a script. Bill On Tue, Jan 28, 2020 at 11:45 AM August Schwerdfeger < aug...@s

If this is a Lua script trying to invoke 'exiftool', the Lua API uses the 'system()' function as its method of running external programs. I believe 'system()' is required by the POSIX standard to pass its argument to 'sh' rather than any shell the user might define. -- August Schwerdfeger aug...@s

So you have installed some lua script that requires exiftool. You should check how that lua plugin calls exiftool, then you can fix the issue either by moving exiftool, so it could be found, or by modifying the script. Or just remove that lua script, if you are not using it (why did you enable it t
