CLUSTER DESKTOP-EMBEDDED-EXIF · 10 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2020-07-05

EXIF and photo metadata tools

The cluster comprises desktop, mobile, and library tools for reading, editing, and batch-processing embedded photo and video metadata (EXIF, IPTC, XMP, GPS), including renaming files based on capture dates and inserting thumbnails. Dated entries appear sporadically across 2017, 2020, 2021, 2023, 2024-2025, and 2026, with no consistent release cadence. Traction is led by XingJay-EXIF-Editor (2 stars), while other members show minimal activity.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 10 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
