Introduction

What is mapivi
mapivi is:
Cross-platform (UNIX, Mac OS X, and Windows) picture manager and organizer, Mapivi is a stand alone tool, there is no need for a web server, online access or a database.
Deals with EXIF data (like timestamp, camera model, focal length, exposure time, aperture, etc.), and is able to rename the pictures according to their internal date/time, to display and modify JPEG comments and to do lossless rotation.
The idea of using Mapivi as an picture organizer is to keep user, EXIF, and IPTC information where it belongs – in the pictures – as well in a searchable Mapivi database.
Mapivi is also able to do image processing. Mapivi serves here as a frontend (GUI) for many proven command line tools, like the Image Magick tools.
