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
