VERSION: 7.41 (ExifTool) / 3.22 (ExifTool GUI)
RELEASE_DATE: 28.08.2008 (ExifTool) / 2008-09-07 (ExifTool GUI)

http://freeweb.siol.net/hrastni3/foto/exif/exiftoolgui.zip
WINDOWS_OS: All
OTHER_OS: Mac OS X, Linux
DESCRIPTION: ExifTool:
ExifTool is a platform-independent Perl library plus a
command-line application for reading, writing and editing meta
information in image, audio and video files. ExifTool supports many
different types of metadata including EXIF, GPS, IPTC, XMP, JFIF,
GeoTIFF, ICC Profile, Photoshop IRB, FlashPix, AFCP and ID3, as well as
the maker notes of many digital cameras by Canon, Casio, FujiFilm, HP,
JVC/Victor, Kodak, Leaf, Minolta/Konica-Minolta, Nikon, Olympus/Epson,
Panasonic/Leica, Pentax/Asahi, Ricoh, Sanyo, Sigma/Foveon and Sony.
ExifTool is also available as a stand-alone Windows executable and a
Macintosh OS X package. Note that these versions contain the executable
only, and do not include the HTML documentation or other files of the
full distribution above.
ExifTool GUI:
ExifTool is "Command-Line" utility. That means, there's no
Graphic User Interface (GUI), so all work must be done by typing commands
inside "Command Prompt" window. Such approach gives ExifTool great
flexibility, but is somehow difficult to use -especially for those who
aren't familiar with old DOS workflow.
So, I've decided do make some simple ExifTool GUI for my private use.
There are allready some GUI's that make use of ExifTool, but some of them
are not flexible enough (for my needs) and/or have quite limited use.
Making ExifToolGUI, the main goal was:
# -view all metadata that ExifTool recognizes,
# -ability to edit most frequently used Exif, IPTC and XMP metadata tags,
# -batch capability (where appropriate), means: you can select multiple
files and modify them at once.
