About
ExifGlass is a fast, open-source EXIF metadata viewer. It reads the technical details embedded in your photos - camera settings, lens, exposure, GPS location, timestamps, and more - by wrapping the powerful ExifTool by Phil Harvey. Use it standalone via drag-and-drop, the file picker, or a command-line path, or plug it into ImageGlass as an integrated tool that live-updates as you navigate images. Metadata can be copied to the clipboard or exported to a file.
Permissions
3 permissions weaken the sandbox. Flatsonar asks before installing.
- full access to your entire file system
--filesystem=host - X11 display: X11 lets apps read input and windows of other apps
--socket=x11 - sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH: changes which libraries or plugins get loaded
--env=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/app/lib - inter-process communication (needed for X11)
--share=ipc - network
--share=network - GPU acceleration
--device=dri
