Regarding metadata, let me explain a bit how so many apps fall short (I'm no expert but I've been studying the standards).ĮXIF is essentially metadata generated by the camera not meant to be edited (generally).

I don't know if it does it's own thing with my photo files and directories like F-spot, but if it does, that's a mark against it in my book. Shotwell does have a decent GUI and apparently 'tags' (with keywords) multiple photos. It would be a great compliment to other photo software tools.Įxiftool is simply amazing, but I can't rate photos or assign keywords and captions to photos without seeing them. I think it would be well-received and would not compete with Darktable, DigiKam, or RawTherapee.

That's it! I'll use RawTherapee or Darktable for image manipulation.ĭoes anyone have any ideas? Are there any developers out there that have thought of doing this relatively small project. Then of course I want to tag multiple photos simultaneously. I noticed there is software called ExifTool GUI but it is only for Windows! All I'm after is a GUI for Exiftool that allows me to SEE my photos in order to know how I want to tag them. Mapivi is sort of close in tagging, but its UI is very awkward. I like RawTherapee but I can't select 100 photos of my dog and tag them with 'dog'. It's a great app and I'm impressed, but I don't want to use it. The best I've found is DigiKam, but I don't want to put up with KDE libs (I've tried and almost gave in). I have been frustrated for a long time with the lack of proper Linux tools to tag photos.
