I just happened to drop by
http://freshmeat.net/ to look for some
stuff for my printer, and I saw this on the home page:
PornView 0.1.2 [1]
by trem0r - Saturday, November 23rd 2002 06:53 PST
About: PornView is a GTK+-based image viewer/manager. Features
include thumbnail previews, thumbnail caching, directory tree
views, and and adjustable zoom. Fullscreen view and slideshows
allow for basic presentation of images.
Changes: This release adds file operations, EXIF data, gettext
support, and a Polish translation, and fixes many small bugs.
I was curious about its 'EXIF data' support, so I went to check
it out and noticed that this screen shot [2] has a popup menu that
says 'Movie -> Create Thumbnail'; might be worth trying.
(I thought the package name was just a joke, but apparently not :)
Hmm... I just compiled and installed it, and it's fairly nice for
something with version number 0.1.2, but I couldn't get it to do
anything with any of the movie formats I happen to have around
(mpeg, avi, quicktime.)
Its view of exif data is quite good; apparently it uses libexif [3]
to do all the dirty work. I'll have to play around with that sometime.
