What is Reddit's opinion of Exiv2?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Using the file linked by /u/hKemmler, i.e., img_1771.jpg:

$ exiftool -MinAperture img_1771.jpg Min Aperture : 8

$ exiftool "-MinAperture<MaxAperture" img_1771.jpg 1 image files updated

$ exiftool -MinAperture img_1771.jpg Min Aperture : 5

(Presumably, those are F-stops, which is why Min &gt; Max. Before I copied the latter to the former, that is.)

$ exiftool -CreateDate img_1771.jpg Create Date : 2003:12:14 12:01:44

$ exiftool -d %Y_%b_%d -CreateDate img_1771.jpg Create Date : 2003_Dec_14

$ exiftool -d %Y/%b/%d/ -CreateDate img_1771.jpg Create Date : 2003/Dec/14/

$ exiftool -d %Y/%b/%d/ "-Directory<CreateDate" img_1771.jpg 1 directories created 1 image files updated

You probably don't have tree installed, but if you did:

$ tree 2003 2003 └── Dec └── 14 └── img_1771.jpg

2 directories, 1 file

YMMV. But I recommend you run all those commands yourself to help understand WTF exiftool does.

exiftool "-Directory<DateTimeOriginal" -d "%Y/%m/%d" DIR

this will organize the files for you by moving them into folders like 2003/12/02/image.jpg.

You can try it yourself using this

>wget http://www.exiv2.org/include/img_1771.jpg && exiftool "-Directory<DateTimeOriginal" -d "%Y/%m/%d" .

You can download EXIF editors made specifically to just strip the data. Also, if you're going to post them online anyways why not post them via Imgur?

I'd much rather creeps get caught for being creeps, but if you want to non-creepily wipe (or change) the exif data from you pictures check out jhead (it's multi-platform) or if you're a lamer and you like C++ you can check out exiv2 and it'll similarly work on the son of a bitch.

Wow, this looks amazing. I had manually a few trips in Lightroom so my map module wasn't blank, but that was a pain. I was hoping something like this could work so I actually started taking photos with my phone (which GPS tags photos and auto backs up to Google Photos and thus the location history).

Seems like with a little change to use an exiv2 library, this can work with all sorts of RAW files too?

Now if only I was better about setting my DSLR's timezone when travelling, but that's only a bit of work.

Thank you!

Thank you for your response!

I tried the Exif Tag Collector you provided, but I still seem to have a problem. I looked up an EXIF table to see wich field corresponds to the 'Keywords' field, but this program doesn't print the field ID 0x9c9e (40094) for some reason.

I want to modify this exact field (sorry for google image, my Windows isn't set to English) with my program, but I'm not even sure this is contained within the EXIF data (my knowledge of image format is pretty poor). I am so confused right now.

I typed exactly what you did, and it put a copy in my home directory.
