MaPiVi(1) Picture Viewer and Organizer

DESCRIPTION

JPEG picture viewer / image management system with meta info support written in Perl/Tk for UNIX, Mac OS X and Windows.

I wrote mapivi just for me, because I needed a image viewer which is also able to display and edit meta infos of JPEG pictures, like EXIF, JPEG comments and IPTC/IIM infos. As hobby photographer I am mostly interested in the EXIF infos (like timestamp, camera model, focal length, exposure time, aperture, etc.) and the possibility to add and edit IPTC infos and JPEG comments. But I also want to rename pictures according to their internal date/time and to do lossless rotation, lossless cropping and other stuff.

mapivi can be found here: http://mapivi.de.vu (link to the mapivi site) or if this won't work: http://herrmanns-stern.de (real site) http://sourceforge.net/projects/mapivi (download)

I would be happy to receive some feedback (e.g. on which os mapivi works), bugfixes, patches or suggestions about mapivi.
