See html/index.html for more details about ExifTool features.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ExifTool can be downloaded from
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RUNNING
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The exiftool script can be run right away without the need to install
|
||
|
|
Image::ExifTool. For example, from within the exiftool directory you can
|
||
|
|
extract the information from one of the included test files by typing:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
./exiftool t/images/ExifTool.jpg
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you move the exiftool script to a different directory, you must also
|
||
|
|
either move the contents of the lib directory or install the Image::ExifTool
|
||
|
|
package so the script can find the necessary libraries.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: If you are using the Windows cmd shell, you may need to rename
|
||
|
|
'exiftool' to 'exiftool.pl' to run it directly from the command line.
|
||
|
|
Alternatively, you can run exiftool with the command 'perl exiftool'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
IF YOU ARE STILL CONFUSED
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The exiftool script is a command line application. You run it by typing
|
||
|
|
commands in a terminal window. The first step is to determine the name of
|
||
|
|
the directory where you downloaded the ExifTool distribution package.
|
||
|
|
Assuming, for example, you downloaded it to a folder called "Desktop" in
|
||
|
|
your home directory, then you would type the following commands in a
|
||
|
|
terminal window to extract and run ExifTool:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cd ~/Desktop
|
||
|
|
gzip -dc Image-ExifTool-##.##.tar.gz | tar -xf -
|
||
|
|
cd Image-ExifTool-##.##
|
||
|
|
./exiftool t/images/ExifTool.jpg
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: You must replace "##.##" in the above commands with the actual version
|
||
|
|
number of ExifTool that you downloaded. These commands extract meta
|
||
|
|
information from one of the test images. To use one of your images instead,
|
||
|
|
enter the full path name of your file in place of "t/images/ExifTool.jpg".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
INSTALLATION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can install the Image::ExifTool package to make it available for use by
|
||
|
|
other Perl scripts by typing the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
perl Makefile.PL
|
||
|
|
make
|
||
|
|
make test
|
||
|
|
make install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Notes:
|
||
|
|
i) You need root access for the last step above.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ii) Some Perl installations (like the standard OSX installation) may not
|
||
|
|
contain the necessary files to complete the first step above. But no
|
||
|
|
worries: You can install ExifTool manually by moving 'exiftool' and the
|
||
|
|
'lib' directory to any directory in your current PATH (ie. /usr/bin).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
iii) In Windows, "dmake" or "nmake" may be used if "make" is not
|
||
|
|
available. The "nmake" utility may be downloaded from Microsoft at
|
||
|
|
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q132084 but note
|
||
|
|
that is utility is very old, and may not work with Makefiles generated by
|
||
|
|
newer Perl versions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(Also see html/install.html for more help with installation.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DEPENDENCIES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Requires Perl version 5.004 or later. No other special libraries are
|
||
|
|
required, however the following modules are recommended for decoding
|
||
|
|
compressed and/or encrypted information from the indicated file types, and
|
||
|
|
for calculating digest values for some information types:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Archive::Zip (ZIP, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, ODP, ODS, ODT, EIP, iWork)
|
||
|
|
Compress::Zlib (DNG, PNG, PDF, DCM, MIE and SWF files)
|
||
|
|
Digest::MD5 (PDF files, IPTC information, and JPG Extended XMP)
|
||
|
|
Digest::SHA (PDF with AES-256 encryption)
|
||
|
|
IO::Compress::Bzip2 (RWZ files)
|
||
|
|
Win32::API (for proper handling of Windows file times)
|
||
|
|
Win32API::File (for Windows Unicode file names and file times)
|
||
|
|
Win32::FindFile (for Windows Unicode directory support, app only)
|
||
|
|
Time::HiRes (allows generation of ProcessingTime tag)
