Applescript and XMP faces

GC has a great XMP face detector now, and it seems to store all the names correctly. I would like to use applescript to take the names from a photo and add them to the TAGS in macOS.
Is there any way to extract the XMP names from a file into a variable in applescript?

Hi,
this is not supported via AppleScript.
But I added a context menu command to the latest BETA:

So, using applescript IS possible, if that exists in a REAL MENU when the file is open; IE:
Code: Select all
tell application "System Events" to tell process "GraphicConverter 11"
set frontmost to true
tell menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
click
click menu item "Open With" of menu 1
end tell
...etc.

Hi,
ah - yes - you can use the system events.
The item is in the menu bar, too.
