Hi,

Can you please add https://github.com/mjeanroy/exiftool to http://www.exiftool.org/index.html#related_prog ?

I am not the author of this library, but I noticed that it is the only one that seems to be actively maintained. All the other Java libraries listed at http://www.exiftool.org/index.html#related_prog seem to have been abandoned.

Thank you,
Gili

Hi Gili,

Thanks, but this library is already linked from the ExifTool home page.  The problem is that the link is dead.  The github page you referenced also points to the same dead link.  So maybe it isn't as actively maintained as one would hope.  I've changed the link to the github page since the other one wasn't working.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

The new link looks good. Thank you!

Regarding the dead link you mentioned, I believe that it belonged to the owner of the original Github repository that was forked. The new link I provided points to the new fork by a different author. I filed https://github.com/mjeanroy/exiftool/issues/13 asking him to remove this link.
