I'm having a slight problem here. I've got a script (shown below) which is
run from the command line. I am converting the filenames to lowercase and
then, for each .cr2 file, I'm building a command line and running it. Seems
pretty simple. I print the resulting command line and it looks fine, but
os.execl() won't seem to execute it. It tells me "no such file or
directory". Yet I can cut and paste the printed line onto the command line
and execute it and it works fine. Am I missing something? Here's the code:
import os
import string
# get a list of the files in the current working directory
filelist = os.listdir(os.getcwd())
# run through the list and convert all of them to lowercase
for name in filelist:
lowered_name = string.lower(name)
print name + " -> " + lowered_name
os.rename (name,lowered_name)
# run through the list again and for all .cr2 files run
# the exiftool command to copy the exif data from cr2 to jpg file
for name in filelist:
#extract extension
ext = name[-3:]
if ext == 'cr2':
jpg_dest = name[:-4]+".jpg"
cmd_string = "/home/richard/ExifTool/exiftool -TagsFromFile " + name
+ " -exif:all " + jpg_dest
print cmd_string #this string looks correct
os.execl(cmd_string) #the resulting command throws an error ??
