Mapivi Description

Mapivi - Picture viewer and manager with support for JPEG meta informations like: EXIF, IPTC/IIM and JPEG commments Mapivi is a picture viewer and manager for Linux/UNIX, Mac OS X and Windows written in Perl/Tk with support for JPEG meta informations like: EXIF, IPTC/IIM and JPEG comments.Mapivi is open-source and cross-platform, being able to run on Mac OS X, UNIX (Linux, Solaris, ...), or Windows (2000, XP, ...).Mapivi is a stand alone tool, there is no need for a web server, online access or a database. Mapivi can also be used to manage and search digital pictures . The idea of using Mapivi as an picture manager is to keep the informations where they belong to - in the pictures.Here are some key features of "Mapivi":· generate and display thumbnail pictures· store generated thumbnail pictures in a subdir or a thumbnail database for faster access the next time the directory is opened· IPTC/IIM information (International Press Telecommunications Council Information Interchange Model) with keywords, categories, location, headline, caption/abstract, writer, ...:· display· add, edit (also multiple pictures at once) · hierarchical IPTC keywords and categories· save and merge IPTC templates· rating of pictures with the IPTC urgency flag, may also be used to sort and search pictures· EXIF (EXchangeable Image File) information (date, time, aperture, exposure time, ISO speed, ...):· display EXIF· copy EXIF· save and restore EXIF (useful, when processing a picture with a program like The GIMP below v2.0)· remove EXIF· alter EXIF date/time absolut or relative· (re)build, copy, rotate EXIF thumbnail· reset/clear EXIF orientation flag· embedded JPEG comments (single and multiple comments are supported):· display· add, edit, copy, join or remove· add comments to multiple pictures without overwriting the existing comments (e.g. to add a copyright notice to many pictures at once (batch processing). Without overwriting the existing comments.)· search for pictures (mapivi keeps a database with all file names, directories, EXIF, IPTC data and comments) .· import pictures from a digital camera, memory card or other device · file operations: rename, copy, move, email and delete pictures· directory operations: rename, create, delete· lossless JPEG rotation (90, 180, 270 degrees or automatic rotation using the EXIF orientation flag)· compare/diff two picture directories and show all files which differ by: file name, file size, pixel size, comment, EXIF info, IPTC info· rotate pictures at any angle (this is not a lossless operation) · lossless JPEG cropping to any format (useful when printing and framing pictures) · search for duplicate pictures (by file name or by file size)· resize pictures, change the quality (-> file size) of pictures· filter a picture (normalize, equalize, saturation, gamma, unsharp mask, ...) · export a static html web gallery of the selected pictures with comments and EXIF and IPTC infos (mapivi uses a page template so the design and layout of the html page is very flexible). These html galleries may be presented on a web page or burned on a CD-ROM. · add a border/drop shadow and/or a copyright info (text or picture) to images · build index prints · compare details between two or more pictures by switching between these pictures zoomed to the same picture area· batch rename pictures (e.g. according to their internal EXIF or file date, e.g. "yyyymmdd-hhmm.jpg")· auto zoom pictures to fit on the screen or window· show pictures in a slideshow· interpolate dead and hot pixels (also possible while importing pictures)· show the histogram of a picture· make screenshots (single window or complete desktop)· use a picture as desktop backgroundRequirements:· a computer running Mac OS X, UNIX (Linux, Solaris, ...), or Windows (2000, XP, ...)· jpegtran to do the loss-less rotation. jpegtran is included e.g. in the The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG software release 6b (this is part of most linux distributions as part of the libjpg package, for Windows use this link http://www.jpegclub.org/jpegtran.exe)· the command line tools convert, mogrify, identify and composite (or combine) from Image Magick (this is also part of most linux distributions)· jhead for the automatic lossless rotation· Perl 5.005 or better· Perl/Tk 800.015 or better· Perl module Image::MetaData::JPEG in version 0.14 or newer· Perl module Image::Info· Only for old Perl/Tk versions: Perl module Tk::JPEG (this is included in Perl/Tk at least since version 804.025. So, please don't try to install it if you have a more recent Perl/Tk version.)
