But Exiftool isn't free, is it?

BTW, I would be VERY interested in those kind of scripts (I know
nothing about perl etc.).
I'll most probably host it on my web site (or sourceforge or somewhere...) once it's a bit documented and useable by anyone but me. For now it's not really the case.

If you know a slight bit in programming or are ready to learn, such script languages are really powerful as a "glue" between applications, allowing them to work together and better suit your needs.

MacOS scripting system is really easy to use.
Perl is very powerful, but more tailored to command-line tools integration, and a bit cryptic (even for programmers). Python is quite easy to learn and understand, but versatile, and a pleasure for programmers. Can be used with kids at primary school, to do the kind of things we're discussing now, or to develop full-blown web application servers...
