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.
