Copies the location information on macOS from one file to another.

copyLocationFromFile.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

if [ $# != 2 ]; then
    echo `basename $0`" <src file> <dst file>"
    exit
fi

xattr -w "com.apple.metadata:kMDItemLatitude" $(mdls -name kMDItemLatitude "$1" | awk '{print $3}' | sed s/\"//g) "$2"
xattr -w "com.apple.metadata:kMDItemLongitude" $(mdls -name kMDItemLongitude "$1" | awk '{print $3}' | sed s/\"//g) "$2"

When I look at the kMDItemLatitude & kMDItemLongitude attributes of an image file taken from my iPhone with GPS data, latitude & longitude are floating point data type. This copyLocationFromFile.sh script writes them as strings and consequently such files don't show in spotlight searches (example: Latitude is greater/less than 0). I'm still looking for a way to write them as floats with xattr.
