EXIF Metadata Processing TUI (Terminal User Interface) in Rust

TUI Mode

The TUI Mode allows you to inspect & modify the metadata for a given image inside your terminal.

Within TUI Mode, all of the metadata is displayed inside a table and with the appropriate units for relevant fields.

Here is a list of Keybinds for TUI mode -

Keybind	Description
r	Randomize the highlighted field
R	Randomize all fields
c | C	Clear all metadata
o | O	Display the original metadata for the image
t | T	Toggle between displaying Image Thumbnail and Globe
s | S	Save a copy of the modified metadata
g | G	Toggle Globe Visibility
<Spc>	Toggle Globe Rotation
q | <Esc>	Exit the app
?	Show/Dismiss Keybind Info

Metadata that can be randomized

• Make
• Model
• DateTime
• DateTimeOriginal
• DateTimeDigitized
• ExposureTime
• FNumber
• MeteringMode
• GPSLatitude
• GPSLongitude
• GPSLatitudeRef
• GPSLongitudeRef

CLI Args

Defaults -

• Do not mutate the original file
• Always write to a copy unless specified with the mutate flag

• -r | --random to automatically randomize the exif metadata

• -m | --mutate to mutate the original file (not recommended)

Future Features

• Randomizing more metadata fields
• Editing metadata directly
