Command line utility in Ruby that reads all the images in the designated directory, extracts their EXIF GPS data (longitude and latitude), and then writes the name of the image and the coordinates for each image to a CSV or HTML file.
Install it yourself as:
$ gem install exif_extractor
If using Rbenv you might need to:
$ rbenv rehash
It is possible to run on the current directory (will output CSV):
$ exif_extractor extract
Or on a custom directory:
$ exif_extractor extract ../my_folder/another_folder
Also the output can be customized to CSV or HTML
$ exif_extractor extract --output csv
$ exif_extractor extract --output html
The output will always be written to the current directory.
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup
to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec
to run the tests. You can also run bin/console
for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install
. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb
, and then run bundle exec rake release
, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem
file to rubygems.org.
Because of time constraints it was not possible to test all possible GPS formats (see Wikipedia), so there could be inconsistencies.
