Photini - A free, easy to use, digital photograph metadata (Exif, IPTC, XMP) editing application for Linux, Windows and MacOS.

Last update: Dec 20, 2022

Overview

Photini

A free, easy to use, digital photograph metadata (Exif, IPTC, XMP) editing application for Linux, Windows and MacOS.

"Metadata" is said to mean "data about data". In the context of digital photographs this means information that isn't essential in order to display the image, but tells you something about it. For example a title and description of the scene or the date & time and the GPS coordinates of the camera's position when the picture was taken.

"[Photini] doesn't try to be an all-singing, all-dancing image management powerhouse - it just lets you add information to photos, quickly and easily."

—Linux Format magazine, January 2013

Why is it called Photini? Read my blog post on how I chose a name.

Documentation

Warning

This program, like all software, may have bugs. Before using it be sure to back up all your photographs (you do this anyway, right?) as I can't guarantee you won't accidentally damage them.

Photini's documentation is at http://photini.readthedocs.io/. It includes detailed installation instructions and a full user manual.

Getting help

If you encounter any problems installing or running Photini, please email [email protected] and I'll respond as soon as I can. There is also an email list or forum for discussions about Photini at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/photini. If you discover a bug and have a GitHub account then please file a bug report on the GitHub "issues" page.

Internationalisation

Work has begun on providing Photini in multiple languages. I rely on users to do the translation, as I am not fluent in any language other than English. If you'd like to help, please join the Photini team on Transifex. For more details, see the localisation documentation.

Comments

Add support for location description

Please consider adding support for setting a location description as an alternative to specifying geographical coordinates, i.e. something that will be mapped to IPTC's Location Created or Location Shown or the legacy City, Province or State and Country tags. Picture editors often use this information stored in their image databases to find photographers working in a particular area, so it is rather useful to be able to include this information.

Segmentation faults
Photini may fail to run with some versions of PyQt. If started from a terminal you may get a "Segmentation fault" error message. If this happens, try using the --version option and reporting the details here. For example:

[email protected]:~> photini Segmentation fault (core dumped) [email protected]:~> photini --version Photini 2017.6.1, build 822 (a668831) Python 3.6.1 (default, Mar 23 2017, 13:04:44) [GCC] PyGI 3.24.1, GExiv2 0.10.4, GObject 2.0 PyQt 5.8.2, Qt 5.9.0, using QtWebEngineWidgets enchant 1.6.8 flickrapi 2.2.1 [email protected]:~>

My testing so far suggests the problem is with the QtWebEngine replacement for QtWebKit. When this works it's faster, and the Bing map aerial view selector works, so I'd prefer to use it. I think I'm going to have to provide a way of manually disabling it though, as I don't have a definitive list of which PyQt versions are safe.

Saving fails with 2021.4.0
I upgraded to 2021.4.0 to test multi-thumbnail reloading (#59) and now photini is useless: It does not save title or copyright anymore into the files, and always creates .xmp files.

Symptoms

Open file: photini 01.png

Select file in file list

Add title "test" and photographer "test"

Right-click file in file list, "Show changes"

The two changes are visible

Right-click file in file list, "Save changes"

Right-click file in file list, "Close file"

Popup appears: Some files have unsaved meta data. Save?

Confirm by clicking "Save"

Open file with file chooser dialog

Select file

Title and photographer is empty.

A 01.png.xmp file has been created, but that misses the title and photographer as well.

The same happens when using "Save" in the "File" menu.

Error if accents in filename

Hello, When I try to save a photo after modifying metadata, I have this error message :

11:25:30: ERROR: photini.exiv2: GExiv2: D:\Temp\Photini\photo_with_é.jpg.xmp: Failed to open the data source: No such file or directory (errno = 2) (9)

There is a accent the the file name. When removing it (photo_with_é.jpg => photo_with_e.jpg), everything works fine. Same issue with other non ascii characters. (And congratulations for the great job !)

Error reading metadata
When I click on some photos I have this error :

22:25:16: ERROR: photini.exiv2: 20131205_155439.jpg(description), Exif.Photo.UserComment: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xf8 in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)

I suppose it's because there is maybe a 'ë' character in the metatdata. It's for the word 'Noël' which mean Christmas in French.

Photini should update the "Date Taken" field

When setting a date taken using the Technical metadata tab, I expected it to have an effect on the "Date Taken" field when I right-click->properties->Details the image.

This is the field that Google Photo uses to order the images.

Could you consider changing this field when setting the "Taken" field? For the precision, you can always revert to XXXX-01-01 00:00:00.

Are video files supported?

Hello,

I see in the changelog "started adding support for video files", and that the Open Images dialog offers to select video files. But Photini crashes ("pythonw.exe has stopped working") as soon as I open a video file. I am using the latest version 2017.6.0 windows installer on Windows 10. I have tried with several AVI and MP4 videos.

So I wonder if perhaps video support is not complete yet? Or a specific issue with the Windows version? Or is it supposed to work and perhaps something wrong on my machine?

Thanks in advance.

In 15.11.0 AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'python_2_unicode_compatible'

The previous version 15.10.0 is working fine. However, the latest version 15.11.0 crash upon launch. Here is a terminal dump:

I am running Ubuntu Trusty 14.04

I found a similar issue in GitHub in this project along with a solution. I don't know / have time yet to investigate.

https://github.com/sloria/TextBlob/issues/8

Well it looks like the trouble comes from line 409 in metadata.py (line 449 as well) @six.python_2_unicode_compatible

and line 37 in the same file import six

Basically six has no Attribute 'python_2_unicode_compatible'

I don't know Python at all, but may be with the other project I mention above you can fix this bug ?

Crash when batch importing files

I am importing a directory with a couple hundred of photos, photini works for a time (I set it to move the photos), but at the end it stops without any message. All the photos of the directory are moved apparently but I can't be sure. Photini version is current HEAD: c403b5f337cc2a78475419a6bb0a1ed2aa4c740f Kubuntu 20.04 with neon packages Python 3.8.2

ValueError: time data '200303 ' does not match format '%Y%m%d%H%M%S'

metadata.py from_ISO_8601 raises ValueError for dates not conforming to ISO format. I have several of these, such as the one reported in the above error which only has a year and month.

Not sure these dates are exif conform, but e.g. Lightroom (which I am trying to replace with a more customizable flow) has no issue.

Bugs in v2022.12.0

I apologise for releasing v2022.12.0 with several bugs that I really should have spotted before release. I've issued the following patch releases:

v2022.12.0.1 fixes TypeError: descriptor 'tr' requires a 'PySide2.QtCore.QObject' object but received a 'str' or TypeError: tr(self, str, disambiguation: str = None, n: int = -1): first argument of unbound method must have type 'QObject' errors when doing "help -> about Photini" or a map tab search.

v2022.12.0.2 fixes TypeError: can only join an iterable error when writing an XMP "sidecar" file.

v2022.12.0.3 fixes incorrect "LangAlt" values written to IPTC-IIM metadata.

WARNING: CPU random generator seem to be failing, disabling hardware random number generation

As I'm having a CPU like https://askubuntu.com/questions/1264439/warning-cpu-random-generator-seem-to-be-failing-disable-hardware-random-number and this is a well known issue so far, is there a way to force the hardware RNG using alternative method for random number generation (due to some reason I cannot apply BIOS patch on my machine).

Flickr authentication failing

Flickr have recently made a change in their API that prevents recent versions of Photini from authenticating / logging in. (With Firefox you get an "SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG" error, I don't know how other browsers will respond.)

A possible solution is to go back to Photini version 2019.5.0 temporarily, authorise Flickr, then change back to a more recent Photini. (Backup your config file before you do this, then restore it afterwards.) As long as you never log out from Flickr the authorisation should remain valid.

If the Flickr problem persists I'll issue a new release with an alternative authentication strategy.
