ExifTool GUI is a (free) Graphical User Interface for an already existing EXIF editor called ExifTool, developed by Phil Harvey, a full-featured – command-line. pyExifToolGui is a graphical frontend for the excellent open source command line tool ExifTool by Phil Harvey. pyExifToolGui is a python pySide QT4 script. I use Exiftool and ExiftoolGUI to add metadata for old and oldish lenses when the camera cannot read such information.
 
 

Windows Exif Tool GUI – Introduction

 

Here’s why: -it shows more metadata tags than any other tool, -it allows to edit almost any metadata tag, -it is very secure to use, is regulary updated and has the best possible support. The only downside for many potential users is the fact, that ExifTool is a "command-line" utility. Such approach gives ExifTool great flexibility, but is somehow difficult to use -especially for those, who don’t use ExifTool regulary. When making ExifToolGUI, the main goal was: -view all metadata that ExifTool recognizes, -ability to edit most frequently used metadata tags, -batch capability where appropriate , means: you can select multiple files and modify them at once.

Basic idea behind GUI is, to keep it simple! Thus, only those options are implemented, which I believe, are essential for majority of users. Meaning: characters inside metadata will be shown properly, if metadata content is UTF-8 encoded edited metadata values will be automatically saved in UTF-8 format What’s all about?

It’s about displaying "foreign", country specific characters: For Xmp metadata, UTF-8 charset is used as default charset since beginning, so nothing changes here. For Iptc metadata, UTF-8 charset has also become officially recommended. Right now, the only exception is Exif , which oficially doesn’t support UTF-8 yet. If you notice this, then this means, metadata content isn’t UTF-8 encoded. But be aware, that UTF-8 encoded Exif content might not be properly recognized by some other software Anyway, all this concerns only "foreign" characters: if you allready used "standard" alphabet ASCII characters only, then you won’t notice any difference.

ExifTool You only need to download "Windows Executable" zip file from here. After unzipping, you will see: Case A: exiftool -k or Case B: exiftool -k. Because it depends on your Windows settings. Case B: rename exiftool -k. Now copy renamed exiftool file into Windows directory -this is the best place- and ExifTool is ready to be used.

Note: In case you’ve done something wrong in this regard, you’ll see an error message when GUI starts. GUI doesn’t need to be "installed".

So, if you didn’t already, just create new directory on C drive i. GUI doesn’t write anything into registry file or elsewhere. These two files are needed only: for JPG lossless rotation purpose see Various menu in case rotation is needed when embedding JPG image into raw image file. If you think you might need this GUI feature, then copy both files into Windows directory -otherwise, both files can be deleted. Wish to see thumbnails of raw image files?

Of course you do. What you need is a "raw codec", usually available for free from camera manufacturer. The best I’ve found so far is "FastPictureViewer codec" from here. That’s all you need. And when new ExifTool or GUI version is available, you only need to repeat process as described above. Preferences General settings tab Metadata language Here you can choose the language for displaying metadata tag names and values in Metadata panel.

Selected language is also used when working in ExifTool direct mode output to Log window , or when exporting metadata to external TXT files. If checked, GUI will only rotate image in Preview panel -thumbnails aren’t rotated.

If you’re using some recent version of "FastPictureViewer" codec, then you should not check this option because that codec is capable to deliver properly rotated JPG images. Enabling internet access By default, this option is unchecked and if you are a bit paranoid, then keep it that way. In this case however, you won’t be able to use GUI’s GoogleMap feature for geotagging your images manually.

After changing this option, you’ll need to close and reopen GUI, to make this feature available. Separator character Some metadata tags i. Keep in mind, that this character isn’t stored into metadata! Save Filelist Details state on exit If checked, then Details: button state and selected Filelist view Standard filelist, Camera settings,.. Selected Thumbnails size is always saved. Workspace manager Here you define what will be shown in Metadata panel when Workspace is selected.

Tag name column Here you define tag name you prefer to be displayed for particular metadata tag. These tag names don’t have any influence on actual tag names and you can write anything here, i.

Tag names written here, can have different "behaviour" in case special character is used for their ending. For now, GUI uses following ending characters: -if tag name ends with this character see Flash and Orientation above , then content of this tag will be displayed as usual. However, when modifying this tag, you need to enter numerical value. In this case, if you right-click on Metadata panel when in Workspace view mode , pop-up menu appears and there’s option Fill in default values -you get the idea, I hope.

Note: You won’t be able to edit such tag in Workspace view. Note: I might use further special ending characters in future, so try to avoid their usage at the end or start of tag names. Tag definition column Here you define tags as recognized by ExifTool.

And if needed, you can also add character at the end of tag name -this will force displaying numerical tag value try with -exif:Orientation to see the difference. Of course, only single tag can be defined per line. Hint text column Text entered here is your short "private" help, which will be displayed in GUI’s status bar when you start modifying tag value: I hope you can recognize the power of Workspace manager : YOU define any metadata tag you wish to change regulary.

For whatever reason, you might wish to save your current Workspace content -to create a backup of your Workspace, so to speak. And when needed, you just load previously saved Workspace definition file again. When you choose Save , you’ll be asked where to save the file and you’ll need to set the filename. However, if you’re not sure what you’re doing, then you better uncheck this option. Preserve Date modified of files -no matter what I think about this, some prefer having this option checked.

Ignore minor errors in metadata -by default, this option is unchecked. That is, ExifTool will refuse to write into file in case metadata is not in "perfect" condition, or if there’s a danger that you might lose some metadata by modifying it.

If this option is checked and metadata only contain "minor" errors or only "minor" damage can occur , then ExifTool will do his job anyway. Show Exif:GPS in decimal notation -checked by default because i. GoogleMap uses this notation as well.

Show sorted tags not in Workspace -if this option is unchecked default , then metadata tags are shown sorted as defined internally in metadata. Many times however, it’s quite hard to find particular tag in listing, so I can imagine, that this option will be checked most of the time. Obviously, this setting has no influence on Workspace view output see Workspace manager above. Show Composite tags in view ALL Composite tags aren’t "real" tags their values are calculated from various existing tags , so they are shown optionally.

Don’t show duplicated tags It can happen that the same tag is defined more than once inside image file and by default, GUI will show all of them. If you don’t like this behaviour, then check this option, but warning : some other tags might also not be shown! Remaining options settings however, are only temporary as long GUI is running and are not checked by default: Show tag values as numbers Prefix tag names with ID number Group tag names by instance -g4 -this can help you to identify duplicated tags when viewing in Metadata panel.

So, try and see what suits your needs. Copy metadata from single file This will copy metadata from single source file can be MIE file too into currently selected files. That is, all selected files will be populated with the same metadata. MIE file. If multiple files are selected, then metatada will be imported only where source and target files have equal names.

Now you select the menu and, no matter how many destination files you’ve selected previously, you’ll be asked to choose only one source file see 2nd scenario.

To put it simple: it’s just copying all metadata between files which have equal filename but can have different extension. Note: Because it’s assumed, that destination file has been modified inbetween resized, etc. The difference is: No matter how many destination files you select you must select at least one for menu to be enabled , metadata will always be copied into all JPG or TIF but not both files inside current folder.

After you choose this menu option, you’ll be first asked " should files in subfolders also be processed? If we choose No , then again, this option behaves the same way as if all files are selected in Scenario 2 above. Let’s see an example, where we wish to update jpg files with metadata from raw files: 1. Click on Yes button when asked 4. Note: You only need to select one file to specify file extension. Dir2 folder. Step 1: Select log file of your GPS device.

As usually in GUI, you must select files you wish to geotag, first. In most cases, folder content will contain series of "session" photos, so you will select all of them. Step 2: Check use all log files in directory if more than one log file for set of files exist. Let’s say you’ve made three day trip to Venice. In such case all photos will reside in single folder, but three or more log files will exist for that set of photos.

Note: In this case, it doesn’t matter which of multiple log file you choose -important is, all log files must have the same extension. Step 3: Choose Reference DateTime value. Here you define which photo DateTime values to compare with those in log file. Step 4: Choose if TimeZone offset is needed to be taken into account.

This is funny one The thing is, log files contain UTC time, while camera is usually set to local time of where photo is taken. In most cases, we are dealing with two scenarios: Case A: Photos are taken in your local time area -in this case there’s no need to use TimeZone offset option.
