From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So I have this weird deja vu situation where I distinctly remember an EXIF viewer tool called exiv4(with a 4) but the only "exiv" tool I can find is exiv2. I can't get over this feeling that I used an EXIF viewer called exiv4, however. I can only find an old Stack Exchange post mentioning it. Does anyone know about an exiv4 tool, or am I just crazy?

I'm going to go with you being crazy. Although based on your mention of "deja vu" and the number "4", I did see djview4. I don't think that's what you wanted though.

Me too i went back to the linux install i wouldve used it on, and I couldn't find exiv4 just exiv2 so I misremembered.

Gonna need a bit more than that to go on. Was its functionality similar to exiv2? How long ago do you remember it from? Can you at least link the old SO post you found?

[–] potentiallynotfelix@lemmy.fish 1 points 1 month ago

yes it was literally the same as exiv2. I remember it from maybe 6 months to a year ago. I went to the install which I remembered using it on, and it was exiv2, so I am wrong.
