For more recent readers of this thread, the download link in the "download ExifMeta" sticky post at the top of the topics list does not work.  It still points to RobCole.com which has been offline since about Feb-2015.  There has been no news or info since then as to when or if it will ever be online again and there have been no updates to ExitMeta since then.

A big thanks to RonBoyd for giving me a copy of the plugin!

http://files.harrisony.com/lightroom/ExifMeta_(lrplugin)_5.9.zip

In order to cut down on the number of private e-mail requests for "ExifMeta_(lrplugin)_5.9.zip,"  could someone explain how to insert such a file into a post in this Forum?

Yeah, I seem to recall that there was an issue with one of the earlier versions where ExifMeta didn't use the correct default path for exiftool on Macs (which is probably why I have one specified in the settings).  Glad to hear that it's working now.

Right now I have nothing in General Settings "exiftool executable" box to direct the path to ExifTool.

Interestingly, using v5.9 (thanks Ron) I'm able to get the Meta Fields Table populated and the plugin works fine, with nothing in "exiftool executable".

That said, I'm relieved to see that EM and LR6(CC) do work together. 

What do you get if you run:

    "exiftool" -l -X "/Volumes/sjD SSD 480GB 3/Pawprint Pictures/20150411/20150411-150643-12.nef"

at the command line?

The log message is telling you that the plugin doesn't think exiftool is producing the metadata from the image file that it expects.  Post the output of the above command and let's make sure exiftool is working as expected. 

But in fact, it looks like ExifMeta can't find your exiftool.  Do you know the path to exiftool on your machine?  What's entered in the box labeled "exiftool executable" in the ExifMeta General settings in the Plugin Manager?  (mine says /usr/local/bin/exiftool).

I would just like to know...

1. What's wrong in this picture (see below)?  IOW does this have anything to do with why am I not able to execute in LR CC? Since it is the message I get whenever I try to run it. ... and more importantly -
2. If not Rob Cole then who will carry on with ExifMeta?

I have a copy of "ExifMeta_(lrplugin)_5.9.zip." Is that what you are looking for? If so, where should I upload it?

Is anyone able to upload a copy of the latest ExifMeta?

(While i'm not Rob...) I'd be willing to try make any changes to it if there are issues with Lightroom 6
