    ExifTool

    ExifTool

    ExifTool meta information reader/writer

    ExifTool is a battle-tested Perl application for reading, writing, and batch-editing metadata in thousands of file types—images, videos, audio, documents, and more. It understands major standards like EXIF, IPTC, and XMP as well as an enormous range of camera maker notes and container formats (for example, QuickTime/MP4, PDF, TIFF). Typical workflows include extracting metadata to JSON/CSV/XML, renaming files from timestamps or tags, shifting capture times, copying tags between files, and cleaning or normalizing fields for archives. The tool is meticulous about character encodings, time zones, and tag groups, helping avoid silent corruption when moving metadata between ecosystems. It is scriptable and composable, with options to operate recursively, write sidecars, preserve originals, or do dry runs for safety. Professionals rely on ExifTool for digital asset management, forensic workflows, and any pipeline where metadata quality and traceability matter.

    Amazon EC2 Metadata Mock

    Amazon EC2 Metadata Mock

    A tool to simulate Amazon EC2 instance metadata

    Instance metadata is data about your instance that you can use to configure or manage the running instance. Instance metadata is divided into categories, for example, hostname, events, and security groups. You can also use instance metadata to access user data that you specified when launching your instance. For example, you can specify parameters for configuring your instance, or include a simple script. You can build generic AMIs and use user data to modify the configuration files supplied at launch time. For example, if you run web servers for various small businesses, they can all use the same generic AMI and retrieve their content from the Amazon S3 bucket that you specify in the user data at launch. To add a new customer at any time, create a bucket for the customer, add their content, and launch your AMI with the unique bucket name provided to your code in the user data. If you launch more than one instance at the same time, the user data is available to all instances.

    exa

    exa

    A modern replacement for ls

    You list files hundreds of times a day. Why spend your time squinting at black and white text? exa is an improved file lister with more features and better defaults. It uses colours to distinguish file types and metadata. It knows about symlinks, extended attributes, and Git. And it’s small, fast, and just one single binary. Different types of file and data will be coloured differently, and the user and group columns will be highlighted for the current user. exa can display a file’s extended attributes, as well as standard filesystem information such as the inode, the number of blocks, and a file’s various dates and times. exa queries files in parallel, giving you performance on par with ls. Not only is the standard tree tool built-in, but it’ll show you your files’ information alongside the hierarchy. View the staged and unstaged status of every file, right there in the standard view. Also works in tree view for a high-level overview of your repository.

    A batch processing EXIF, IPTC, & XMP image metadata writer for Linux.

    Image MetaWriter is a batch processing Linux command-line program that uses ExifTool to embed metadata into many images at once. The requirements are Bash, Awk, & ExifTool. With Image MetaWriter, you can tag entire albums of images with your metadata, & add unique titles & comments to each image, all at once. Image MetaWriter also supports Creative Commons (CC) licensing. You can embed your CC license into your images along with your metadata simultaneously. This makes it really convenient to upload entire albums to many social media & photo sharing sites, such as Facebook & Google Photos. When your photos have the metadata embedded into them, the sites will read all of it & apply it accordingly. You do not have to type out comments for every single image every time you upload your album to a different site. Simply upload your tagged photos, & all comments & other info are applied by each site automatically. Image MetaWriter makes it all fast & easy. It's really great!!!
