I think that mdls can give me everything (can't test for headline at the moment) but I want to see if there is some other way of reading the info so I can make a decision what to use.
I'm also thinking that launching a shell, calling mdls and getting it to generate a plist, and then interpret that plist in Applescript (using one of the XML scripting additions) might take some extra time if I have many photos to process. (but I'm perhaps missing a better way of doing it?)
Right now - mdls is my top candidate but I want to see if there is something else out there.
