Image Browsing
Nowadays many programs are able to display meta data like IPTC, EXIF or JPEG comments, but you have to press several buttons to see them for just one picture. Mapivi is able to show and edit (batch processing) this informations for a number of pictures at once. The unique feature (as far as I know :) of mapivi is the compact tabular display of all pictures in a directory with:
- thumbnail
- filename, file size, size in pixels, aspect ratio (4:3, 3:2, 1:1, ...)
- IPTC/IIM infos in a short readable format
- EXIF infos (date, time, aperture, exposure time, ISO, mode, camera type) in a short readable format
- comments
- click on thumbnail to open picture in original size
Other Features
- generate and display high quality thumbnails
- store generated thumbnail pictures in a sub directory (.thumbs) or a central thumbnail database for further access
- search for pictures (mapivi keeps a database with all file names, directories, EXIF, IPTC data and comments) [more].
- import pictures from a digital camera, memory card or other device [more]
- file operations: rename, copy, move, email and delete pictures
- directory operations: rename, create, delete
- compare/diff two picture directories and show all files which differ by: file name, file size, pixel size, comment, EXIF info, IPTC info[more]
- search for duplicate pictures (by file name or by file size)[more]
- 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.[examples] [more] - add a border/drop shadow and/or a copyright info (text or picture) to images [examples] [more]
- build index prints [more]
- 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")
- show pictures in a slideshow
- fix camera CCD defects by interpolating dead and hot pixels (also possible while importing pictures)
- show the histogram of a picture[more]
- make screenshots (single window or complete desktop)
- set a picture as desktop background
Not supported Features
- Add or edit meta information of non-JPEG pictures
- Edit other EXIF data, but the EXIF date and time (like e.g. Exifer on Windows)
- Print pictures (there are better tools for that task)
