I played around a bit and remembered shortfilepath()!!!
This is exactly what we need for doing "shell".

So i tested this script and it works nicely :-)

I put everything into the Revfolder but will work with any path!

...
put the folder into df
put shortfilepath(df & "/exiv2.exe) into kom
## Does NOT work without .EXE!!!???

put shortfilepath(df & "/test1.jpg") into bild
## = image in german :-)

get shell(kom && "-pt" && bild) into fld 1
...

Great :-)


Do you have plans to port/compile this one to/for OS X?
(He asked him innocently...;-)
