====== GQview ======

**[[http://gqview.sourceforge.net/|GQview]]** is an image browser that features single click access to view images and move around the directory tree. Its development seems dead, but there is a fork called **[[http://geeqie.sourceforge.net/|Geequie]]** which seems actively developed instead.

===== exif-comment-edit =====

Waiting for the Debian package of Geequie, I still use GQview and I wrote a small Python script to **edit Exif UserComment** field. You can hook the script to the external editor commands of GQview, so you can launch it with a simple **Ctrl+3**.

The program allows **multi line comments**, uses **UTF-8** encoding and allow you to **edit and existing comment** or add a new one. You can navigate in the directory tree and quickly add comments using just the jeyboard.

The **''exif-comment-edit''** script uses the **''exiv2(1)''** tool to actually read and write the comment, on a Debian system you must install the **exiv2** and **python-gtk2** packages.

The script is released under the GPL license, and you can download it from **[[https://sourceforge.net/projects/exif-comment/|SourceForge]]**.
