YES Freeware: Ordner

Our Freeware: Ordner

Description

Ordner is a UNICODE program that keeps JPEG photos in order, using multiple hierarhical categories and auto-categories (EXIF tags are supported).

Information about the pictures is written into an XML file that is always kept together with the pictures and thumbnails. Comments and any number of categories can be assigned to each picture. Multiple hierarhical category trees help to keep track of when and where the picture was shot, to create albums, to mark favourites, etc. Advanced filtering capabilities allow to find pictures matching specified categories.

CDs can also be catalogued for off-line thumbnail browsing.

Export function allows creating template based HTML albums, autorun CDs with Ordner and its database, backup copies of pictures and database, etc.

This software was created with the help of wxWidgets and uses libEXIF and Expat libraries and FOOOD's icons. At the moment, only Windows build is available, but it can be ported eventually.
