Chris A. Mattmann commented on TIKA-1639:
-----------------------------------------
Hey [~gagravarr] great question. Looking at [~rgauss]'s tool (which I had never
seen before), here are the differences I see:
1. The one I just wrote makes pure use of ExternParser's config file; Ray calls
it programmatically (which is the only reason it worked before the fix I just
committed yesterday)
2. Ray maps the metadata fields; mine just takes the names that EXIFTool gives
us.
3. Ray's is a hefty chunk of Java code; mine is ~10 lines in a config file.
I'm happy to discuss how these things come together if there is an easy way for
that to happen and for someone to maintain it (along with the Wiki docs I
wrote). I just want Tika and EXIFTool to work together.

> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: parser
> Reporter: Chris A. Mattmann

> EXIFTool is a great Perl tool to extract metadata from tons of different
> media formats, in particular video, audio and images:
> http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
> Now that ExternalParser works, it's fairly easy to support this.
> EXIFTool can be installed on Mac with:
> {noformat}
> $ brew install exiftool
> {noformat}
> On CentOS Linux, you can do:
> {noformat}
> $ sudo yum install perl-Image-ExifTool
> {noformat}
