NAME

   MaPiVi - Picture Viewer and Organizer
            MaPiVi means Martin's Picture Viewer

DESCRIPTION

   JPEG picture viewer / image management system with meta info support
   written in Perl/Tk for UNIX, Mac OS X and Windows.

   I wrote mapivi just for me, because I needed a image viewer which is
   also able to display and edit meta infos of JPEG pictures, like EXIF,
   JPEG comments and IPTC/IIM infos.  As hobby photographer I am mostly
   interested in the EXIF infos (like timestamp, camera model, focal
   length, exposure time, aperture, etc.) and the possibility to add and
   edit IPTC infos and JPEG comments.  But I also want to rename pictures
   according to their internal date/time and to do lossless rotation,
   lossless cropping and other stuff.

   mapivi can be found here: http://mapivi.de.vu (link to the mapivi site)
   or if this won't work: http://herrmanns-stern.de (real site)
   http://sourceforge.net/projects/mapivi (download)

   I would be happy to receive some feedback (e.g. on which os mapivi
   works), bugfixes, patches or suggestions about mapivi.
