Manage ExifTool from a Windows interface with ExifToolGui, a graphical front end for the metadata utility.
About Exif Tool Gui
ExifToolGui is a Windows graphical front end for ExifTool, the metadata utility, and is distributed as an open-source repository under GPL-3.0. It is an updated version of the ExifToolGui program originally created by Bogdan Hrastnik, and it presents metadata work through a desktop interface rather than the command line. The interface supports Exif and XMP tags in the file list, including with readmode=internal, custom field definitions in the Filelist and Workspace, a Regions tab, and MapTiler baselayers. HEIC image support and Japanese translation have been updated in recent releases.
