## Lightroom Plugin for converting Fuji in-camera ratings to standard format, which can then be read by Adobe and other software.
I have Fujifilm X-T2 and I have always wished there was a way to make the in-camera ratings readable by Lightroom. I prefer rating images on the go to spend less time afterwards going through the images in front of the screen.
This plugin started as a bash script, which suited my needs, but was not user friendly for other people to use, thus the work on plugin started.
**NOTE: This plugin is still work in progress, but it should work if you meet the prerequesites (have the exiftool in the correct path and make sure it works).**
**NOTE: Use this plugin at your own risk!**
### Prerequesites:
* Exiftool installed and binary placed in `/usr/local/bin/exiftool` (MAC) or `C:\Windows\exiftool.exe` (Windows). Tested with current latest version `10.43`;
* Lightroom. Minimum version still TBD.
### Usage:
* Clone or download repository;
* Open Lightroom and install the plugin. This can be done by opening `Plug-in Manager`, clicking `Add` and specifying the plugin directory `IncameraFujiRatingConverter.lrplugin`. Make sure there are no errors;
* The plugin must be used in `Library` view. Selected the images for which the ratings should be converted and execute the plugin which can be accessed from menu bar: `Library -> Plug-in Extras -> Convert Fuji incamera ratings`;
* After plugin executes, there should be an icon on images, meaning that metadata has been updated by an external application. The metadata can be loaded for each image individually or simply by syncing the whole directory for metadata changes.
**NOTE: The ratings cannot be recovered if they have already been rewritten inside Lightroom or in any other software**
This plugin also sets the rating for .RAF files by saving the metadata in .xmp sidecar file.
#### Bonus: Bash script which does the same thing as the plugin, but does not require Lightroom. For technical audience, works only on Mac and Linux.
#### Prerequesites:
* You must have exiftool installed and configured to be under path (if using Mac, `brew install exiftool` should do);
* This script works by reading the in-camera rating from JPG, so shooting JPG or JPG+RAF is necessary (when shooting JPG+RAF, the rating will also be synchronized from JPG to RAF file by creating .xmp sidecar file).
#### Usage:
* For easier usage, make sure the script `fixFujiRatings.sh` is in `PATH`. One way to do that is to place `fixFujiRatings.sh` script under `/usr/local/bin`. `mv fujiRatings.sh /usr/local/bin`. Or create a symbolic link.
* Make sure script is executable, run `sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/fixFujiRatings.sh`
##### Running the script:
`fixFujiRatings` (will run the script in current directory) or you can specify the path explicitly `fixFujiRatings `
