• exempi (http://www.figuiere.net/hub/blog/?Exempi) C++ Library zum Lesen und Manipulieren von XMP-Dateien - nicht feature complete, aber ambitioniert.
• GIMP metadata viewer/editor (http://wilber.gimp.org/~raphael/metadata/)

  Scheint im Moment leider nicht aktiv zu sein - ist allerdings bereits in die aktuelle Testversion von Gimp eingeflossen.

• photomolo, jpegcom, exifiron and jpegnail (http://www.ktverkko.fi/~msmakela/software/photomolo/)

Archivierung

• digiKam (http://digikam.sourceforge.net/):

  digiKam is a simple digital photo management application for KDE, which makes importing and organizing digital photos a ,,snap``. The photos can be organized in albums which can be sorted chronologically, by directory layout or by custom collections. An easy to use interface is provided that enables you to connect to your camera and preview, download and/or delete your images.

  digiKam kann EXIF und (anscheinend auch) IPTC beschreiben. XMP wird nicht berücksichtigt.

• MaPiVi - Martin's Picture Viewer (http://mapivi.sourceforge.net/mapivi.shtml):

  Picture viewer and organizer for UNIX, Mac OS X and Windows written in Perl/Tk. MaPiVi is a stand alone tool, there is no need for a web server, online access or a database.

  Kann leider nur mit JPEG umgehen - sonst sehr komfortabel. IPTC funktioniert, XMP anscheinend nicht.

• Geeqie () ist ein Nachfolger von gqview; kann EXIF, IPTC und XMP anzeigen und ändern; kommt mit Raw-Formaten zurecht.

• KPhotoAlbum (früher KimDaBa) (http://kphotoalbum.org/):

  KimDaba focuses on three key points:

  • It must be easy to describe a number of images at a time. It must for example not take more than a few mouse clicks to mark all your images from your holiday as being from Italy, 1992. KimDaba offers two ways of description images one at a time, which is useful for writing text about images, and All Simultaneously, which is useful for selecting a number of images, and setting properties like location, persons on images, and date of image.
  • It must be easy to search for images. KimDaba offers to describe images with a number of properties. These includes date, persons on image, location of image, plus a keyword field the user can use for custom keywords like Album 7 or Holiday trip to Italy. With KimDaBa you can search using these categories - for example Find the images with Jesper on them.
  • It must be easy to browse and View the images. When viewing images, your focus often changes - one moment you are looking at images from your holiday in 1992, and when seeing an image of a friend whom you spent that holiday with, you focus suddenly changes, so you want to see all images of that friend.

  Die Schlagworte werden in einer XML-Datei gespeichert - es gibt ein Perl-Modul zum Bearbeiten der Datensammlung. Schlagworte werden anscheinend nicht in den Bilddateien selbst gespeichert.

• imgSeek (http://www.imgseek.net/):

  imgSeek is a photo collection manager and viewer with content-based search and many other features. The query is expressed either as a rough sketch painted by the user or as another image you supply (or an image in your collection). The searching algorithm makes use of multiresolution wavelet decomposition of the query and database images.

  EXIF und IPTC werden für die Formate JPEG und TIFF gelesen und verwertet, aber nicht geschrieben. - dafür ist eine grafische Suchmöglichkeit vorhanden.

• F-Spot (http://f-spot.org/Main_Page) -- kein XMP oder IPTC

• Photo Organizer (http://po.shaftnet.org/) Web-Anwendung (PHP, PostgreSQL), Versionsverwaltung, Metadaten in XMP, IPTC, EXIF und XML, kann raw -- Import funktioniert nicht sehr zuverlässig für mich (2007-11-18) und unklar, ob Metadaten wieder in die Bilder geschrieben werden.
