Front end for exiftool

[balanga]

Is there such a thing as a front end for graphics/p5-Image-ExifTool?

The man page looks pretty extensive but I'm only interested in a few of the options which a front end might easily provide for me.

I found one project but the development seems to be stopped.

I just have ported it, I do still need to do more. It gave me full blank screen in my main window manager, dwm, but with twm, it starts at least .

EDIT:

It can be fixed with environmental variable: $ _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 jexiftoolgui
