Hi,

I have downloaded the latest version of pyexiftoolgui, I can load images, but nothing is displayed in the window, whatever I click (all, exif, IPTC,...). The path to exiftool has been specified in the preferences.
Phil Harvey's exiftool works quite well, Exif Editor works quite well, but not pyexiftoolgui !!
Do you have any idea ?
Thanks,
Robert

Application can't open image if its path contain non-ASCII characters, for example:
/home/tomasz/Obrazy/Zdjęcia/Węgry/Węgry 1.jpg

Error output in console:

I encountered the following issues after normal installation according to INSTALLATION.txt and installing python-pyside.
My System: Kubuntu 15.04, KDE 4.14.8

1. Slight unclarity in installation hints:
   INSTALLATION.txt is slightly misleading, when pointing out to a dependency to pyside and another dependency to python-pyside. It is probably the same package and not two different ones.
2. Problems with video files:
   pyexiftoolgui only offers to open image files, not video files. Opening an video file by selecting . in the file browser allows opening of such a video file. There only the makernotes are displayed. including options to change date, etc. Changing the date results in no changes at all. I wonder where the makernote comes from, as nothing is displayed in the exif-section, where the information comes from, as far as I know.
3. Problem with changing image files:
   Even loading an image file and trying to change it's creation date, etc. results in nothing. Just nothing happenes. Also changing file time-stamp does not work.
4. Unclarity of the GUI:
   It is unclear if you can apply changes while viewing data in the "view" section, via right mouse button, where the according options appear - but with no result as explained in 3. Does one have to change to edit-section, where just some forms are displayed with none available metadata?
   In the edit-section-Exif, there is no data preset for the actual date of the image.
   So probably if one only want to shift the date, one would have to edit this in the view-section.
5. Refresh when loading an image:
   When the view is set to e.g. makernotes and you load an image, the data displayed is only refreshed when clicking somewhere else and back to makernotes. Thus one could think, there is no metadata within the loaded image.

Btw. is the makernote section a combination of the information of the other sections? I never heard of it.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Set your computer's "text zoom" to >=150% (aka DPI >=150).
2. Launch pyExifToolGUI
3. See the attached broken screenshot below

System Details:

• Windows 7 SP1 x64 EN-US
• ThinkPad T440p
  

Testing on Windows 10 showed that:

1. Can't find exiftool even if it is on the path
2. If the config directory doesn't exist it is not created
3. Different methods for locating config os.environ['HOME'] vs os.path.expanduser('~')
4. On Windows if config is missing or alternate not set fails to prompt user for location
5. No filters on prompt for exiftool location.

If images could be loaded from file arguments on the command line the integration of pyExifToolGUI with other tools would be improved. I would like to be able to select images from a file explorer or image viewer and then select "open with" from there.

I have just downloaded this great tool but I have one problem - I can't resize the program window.
My system is Ubuntu 18.04

because of that last commit
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scripts/petgfilehandling.py", line 147, in write_default_lensdb
userpath = os.environ('HOME')
AttributeError: _Environ instance has no call method
It should have been userpath = os.environ['HOME']

When using 360 camera such as Ricoh Theta and holding the camera on a pole at an oblique angle the pitch and roll will be out of standard horizontal/vertical. There are many ways to correct the image for viewing and some do not change the metadata so the image will then be inconsistent with some key embedded metadata for heading, pitch and roll. Facebook uses specific XMP data when displaying a 360 image:
Pose Heading Degrees
Pose Pitch Degrees
Pose Roll Degrees

Your graphical front end panel to alter GPano information has the ability to add values for the fields:
Initial View Heading Degrees
Initial View Pitch Degrees
Initial View Roll Degrees
Initial Horizontal FOV Degrees

Facebook seems to ignore all these values, and instead uses the camera initially recorded data.

Can I request that you please either:
a) allow any data field to be altered in the View Data pane. The field titles and values are there, just they cannot be changed; or
b) include the Pose Heading Degrees, Pose Pitch Degrees and Pose Roll Degrees fields which are the ones Facebook uses. Thank you.

It seems that Debian package creation works already. Please upload these binaries to releases as well!

Also it would be really appreciated if you could also create a script to build them automatically!

I am sorry, but it is completely out of the question to run an installer that requires root-privileges and tries to install its files in /usr instead of e.g. /usr/local (or /opt or something else). So I either have to go through every single line of every script in question, or simply chose not to try pyExifToolGUI.

I know I might come across as a bit nitty-picky here, but it is important. Your tool looks promising, and I'd really love to try it out.

This is the most frustrating program that I've tried to run in a very long time. I'm using Yosemite. No problem getting it to run. It simply won't actually work. Won't actually save the EXIF info.

1. I have the app installed in applications.
2. I have Pyside installed
3. I have python27-pyside installed
4. I have the tools for QT installed (QT 5.6 requires a 14GB install... at THAT point I'm better off just editing the EXIF info in lightroom or photoshop.) But the tools are installed and hopefully that's all I need.

But I load data from an image and click "Save to Image" once I've edited the Data I want... It simply doesn't save anything. Nothing at all.

What the hell am I missing?

Load images does not show *.arw in folder to select as the wild character seems to have been omitted in error.

I have been trying to edit the gps time stamp of a picture without success. Until this morning I was under the impression that pyExifToolGUI was not applying any change when you click on "save on selected image". I tried different tags and the result was the same.

This afternoon I launched the app from command line where it shows the commands being executed when you click to save changes. As you can see from the images attached, the changes being applied by the app are not the ones I'm requesting.

How can I solve this?

I'm running MacOS Sierra.

example 1: I requested to edit "datetimeoriginal" but "createdate" is changed instead (with the value shown in the edition tab ... that is, empty)

example 2: Trying to change gps date and time but other tags are changed

Dear,
I installed exiftool 10.10 and it works in terminal.
Now I installed pyExifToolGUI by dragging your .app bundle into my application folder, but on startup it says exif tool is missing or incorrectly setup in preferences.
A windows open to locate exiftool, but I couldn't locate it.
I can't figure out how to fix this.
Any help?
Thank you

Mac version 0.4.0.1.
It's difficult to click the buttons below.

Great program and very useful. It would be much faster to access images as one is scanning them if the program would remember the last directory that was accessed for loading the images. Or, add a preferences menu item to set a default working directory.

I am scanning hundreds of photos, and occasionally need to add some EXIF metadata to one of them. Every time I need to load an image, I have to start at root (/) and traverse the directory tree to get to the scanned image on my external usb drive. The "Look in:" drop down does not remember the last location I used to load the images. I am using version 0.5.

Thanks!

Mark

I am running the following.

OS X Yosemite 10.10.5
Exiftool 10.23
pyExiftoolGui 0.5

I have updated the config file to point to the location of Exiftool on my machine. When I click the icon for pyExifToolGui in Application folder or using Launchpad, I see the icon come on to the Dock but then it disappears without launching. The app does not provide any error messages either. After clicking the app icon 10 or 20 times, it does launch the app and seems to work OK.

I have deleted and reinstalled the pyexiftoolgui but that has not helped. By the way, this is the first time I have installed pyexiftoolgui.

I am wondering if others have experienced this issue and if there is a fix for it. I have reviewed the issues and do not see anything similar. Thanks.

Ubuntu 17.04. After installing pyExifToolGUI I had the subject error. I hadn't read the write-up, which probably would have explained I needed ExifTool installed as a prerequisite. Once that was installed the 'errno 13 permission denied' was resolved.

Apparently you are expecting users to have exiftool installed in a directory local to the user. I installed exiftools via macports system wide on Mavericks which places exiftool-5.12 in /opt/local/libexec. I created links to /usr/bin/exiftool and other locations but it is fairly obvious from how the gui requests a location for exiftool that it is looking in the user's home directly, and I noticed in a closed issue that the bundle works if one uses the dmg version from the author (as opposed to the macport) as apparently the dmg version installs in a user local directory, as opposed to getting installed in a directory of the underlying root?? So I looked at the config file so I could manually set the location of exiftool (which is best as that memans I don;t have to mess with changing links) and there is no documentatin as to how to set that :-( I think that may be the only gap in the set-up (i.e. telling the app where the exiftool binary is if an install is done via macports) and though you say the tool can be sued with macports installed exiftool, you don;t include the info necessary to address this little bit of finishing.....

So, if you could provide the specifics of what the config file has to say to point the app to /opt/local/libexec/exiftool-5.12 I will test that and get back to, and if that addresses the issues then I think you should mention this in your setup docs and add set up comments in your config file. If not, then any further suggestions as to how to remedy will be appreciated.

Am excited about being able to use the gui :-)

thanks in advance

It seems the program doesn't check for ~/.pyexiftoolgui existence. After I make it, it runs fine.

When clicking on the "Display Image" button or selecting "Display Image" from the context menu, pyExifToolGUI displays a different image.

Hi,

is it possible to translate pyExifToolGUI to other languages (e.g. german)?

When trying to install on Ubuntu 17.10, libqt4-core and libqt4-gui are not available any more...

Hello,

First of all thank you for this Graphic interface for exiftool, it may save us a lot of time.
Here is the problem : I'm on Windows 10 an I followed the instalation instruction, no problem at this point.
I'm on pyexiftoolgui 0.5 and i'm loading images, they appear in the viewer location, but display not a single data on "view data".
So I tried to "export metadata" to verify if it may work, but it instead show at the end of the configuraton a popup named "No photos loaded yet" : "You did not load or select any photos yet" even if I did.

Your interface may have issues to remember or accept the fact that I did loaded an image (.jpg format)
Here is an image to proove it :

Thanks you for you time.

Hi there, great tool - thanks for this!

Just one gripe - I've been bulk re-naming my files to use the prefix YYYYMMDD but as I have several photos on the same day they are suffixed with an automatically generated number.

It would be nice if this generated number respected the DateTimeOriginal of the photos, so that they are ordered exactly chronologically. As it it, I'm unsure of the ordering but it's not chronological.

I am selecting my files using the source folder, not via the main screen if that helps.

Cheers,

P.s. I know I could use YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS but I find this a bit cluttered, would prefer to just have the date and a number :-)

After upgrading from 19.10 to 20.04 I noticed pyExifToolGUI does not start any more. It seems to me that the reason is that python-pyside is no longer available for 20.04. Is there any fix for that?

Hi--

I tried using your tool today and it doesn't appear to work with OS X Mavericks 10.9. I ran the app, it asked for a location of the exiftool binary. I use exiftool via the Brew/Homebrew system, so my exiftool is located in /usr/local/bin. However as soon as I select the exiftool binary pExifToolGUI.app quits immediately.

Do you plan to support Mavericks? I'd love to give you tool a spin! ;)

thx

I tried to load 1000 images into the app, and it crashed my MacBook completely.

It had 30 GB free storage when starting and this tool drained it down 65KB and the Mac then crashed...

Hello hvdwolf,

Long awaited and great piece of software! Here's something I noticed at first impression using ubuntu/fluxbox: can you explain what changes need to done to the python code, to have a flexible-sized main window?

grep -rlIi 1120 /usr/share/pyexiftoolgui/ hits a few pattern matches:

/usr/share/pyexiftoolgui/scripts/ui/MainWindow.ui
/usr/share/pyexiftoolgui/scripts/ui/ui_MainWindow.py
/usr/share/pyexiftoolgui/scripts/ui/ui_MainWindowMAC.py

... but I'm not supposed to change any of these files: as the file header explains, any code changes here will be reverted with the next start.

Is there an xml / a global config some place else I overlooked? My preferred size would be something flexible like: cover upper-half of the screen, depending on display size. Fluxbox can do that using the apps file, but this won't work with a hardcoded size as it is done now.

Thanks.

I have a working exiftool on my mac, but the GUI pyExitToolGui doesn't work.
What can I do to use the GUI?

Fantastic app...

Is there a way to have a Metadata .CSV export only list the actual File Name rather than the entire file path and name?

Thanks

Hi.

I just wanted to pop in and say thank you. As I shoot a lot of photos with different analog cameras and my pc is running ubuntu, I had no nice way to alter the exif of the scans, I already had exiftool, but used it only in a bash script to direct images from my digital camera to the correct year/month/yearmonthday/ directory. Now i can finally give the scans some proper info and hence all my images on flickr.

It would be a nice feature to support pasting KML and/or GPX and parse it to location metadata fill out the GPS form.

The filling out the geo metadata would be mush faster using service as e.g
http://mygeoposition.com/.

1. Use the service above to find a location.
2. Go to the KML og GPX tab and copy the complete location object.
3. Paste it to pyExifToolGUI and it will fill out the form.

One cut and paste operation instead of several.

Hi!
I just tried to install pyExifToolGUI on my Fedora 23 system using:

./install_remove.py install
This gives the following output:

You have chosen to install pyExiftoolGUI on your system

usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]

error: option --install-layout not recognized

If you didn't see errors on your screen, pyExifToolGui has been installed.
In case of errors contact me.
You might also see a lot of "kbuildsycoca4" messages.
This is the cache being rebuilt and your application
being added to menus and so on.*

When I run *python setup.py install --install-lib=/usr/share/pyexiftoolgui --install-scripts=/usr/bin * (without --install-layout=deb), it installs even with startmenu icon, but it doesn't execute.

When I issue pyexiftoolgui from the command line, I recieve the following:
