Why is subprocess.call command not working?
#6
@zBernie as posted over is best to past in a list,can try with string first then need shell=True.
Can make a list later,as you use 3.6 i have put in some updates.
import subprocess
import os

jpgdir = "/home/bernie/CentOS Share/pics/"
file = 'test.jpg'
jpgfile = os.path.join(jpgdir, file)
command = f'convert "{jpgfile}" -font Helvetica -pointsize 60 -fill lightblue -quality 100 -gravity southeast -auto-orient -annotate +80+50 %[exif:DateTimeOriginal] {jpgfile}'
subprocess.run(command, shell=True)
Dos not work post your original convert command before you take into Python.
