Supports both single image operations and bulk processing with recursive folder scanning.\n\n## Features\n\n### Core Functionality\n- **View Metadata**: Display all EXIF, IPTC, and XMP metadata from images\n- **Edit Metadata**: Modify existing metadata fields\n- **Add Metadata**: Insert new metadata tags and values\n- **Remove Metadata**: Delete specific fields or strip all metadata\n- **Bulk Operations**: Process multiple images at once\n- **Recursive Processing**: Handle entire folder structures including subfolders\n\n### Supported Image Formats\n- JPEG/JPG\n- TIFF\n- PNG (limited metadata support)\n- RAW formats (CR2, NEF, ARW, etc.) - read-only for some formats\n\n### Key Features\n- **Single Image Mode**: Select and process individual images\n- **Bulk Mode**: Select multiple images or entire folders\n- **Recursive Option**: Process all images in subfolders when enabled\n- **Backup System**: Automatically creates backups before modifying files\n- **Preview Functionality**: View images while editing metadata\n- **Search \u0026 Filter**: Find images by metadata criteria\n\n## Installation\n\n### Prerequisites\n- Python 3.9 or higher\n- Required Python packages (install via pip):\n\n```bash\npip install Pillow\npip install piexif (Optional)\n```\n\n### Installation Steps\n1. Clone or download the repository\n2. Install required dependencies\n3. Run the application:\n\n```bash\nInstall_Windows_Requirement.bat\nStart.bat\n```\n```bash\nchmod +x Install_Linux_Requirement.sh\nchmod +x Start.sh\n./Install_Linux_Requirement.sh\n./Start.sh\n```\n## Usage Guide\n\n### Single File Mode\n\n1. **Select Image**: Click \"Browse\" to choose an image file\n2. **View Metadata**: Click \"View Metadata\" to display current metadata\n3. **Edit Fields**: Use \"Add/Modify\" to add or change metadata fields\n4. **Delete Fields**: Use \"Delete Field\" to remove specific metadata\n5. **Quick Actions**:\n   - \"Social Media Ready\": Removes GPS, camera model, and other privacy data\n   - \"Wipe All\": Removes all metadata (use with caution)\n\n### Bulk Operations Mode\n\n1. **Select Folder**: Browse to a folder containing images\n2. **Configure Options**: \n   - Check \"Include Subfolders\" for recursive processing\n3. **Choose Edit Mode**:\n   - \"Selected Only\": Process only checked files\n   - \"All Files\": Process entire folder\n4. **Apply Operations**: Use the same operations as single mode on multiple files\n\n### Metadata Categories\n\n**EXIF (Exchangeable Image Format)**\n- Camera technical data: ISO, shutter speed, aperture, GPS coordinates\n- Equipment details: Make, Model, lens information\n- Use case: Technical photography data, GPS location\n\n**IPTC (International Press Telecommunications Council)**\n- Editorial metadata: Headline, caption, keywords, byline\n- Professional data: Credit, source, copyright\n- Use case: Professional photography, journalism, stock photos\n\n**XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform)**\n- Modern extensible format: Description, title, creator, rights\n- Adobe standard with flexibility\n- Use case: Web publishing, Digital Asset Management (DAM) systems\n\n## Advanced Features\n\n### Full-Screen Metadata Viewer\n- **Complete Metadata Display**: View all metadata in formatted JSON\n- **Search Functionality**: Filter metadata by field name or value\n- **Image Preview**: Thumbnail preview alongside metadata\n- **Export Options**: Save metadata as JSON files\n\n### Batch Processing System\n- **Multi-threading**: Parallel processing for bulk operations\n- **Progress Tracking**: Real-time operation feedback with progress bars\n- **Error Recovery**: Continue processing despite individual file errors\n- **Smart File Selection**: Select All, Select None, Invert Selection tools\n\n### Backup System\n- **JSON-Based Backups**: Metadata backups without file duplication\n- **Automatic Protection**: Backups created before any modification\n- **Bulk Operation Tracking**: Organized backups with manifest files\n- **Restore Functionality**: Restore metadata from JSON backups to original or new files\n\n### Performance Optimizations\n- **Memory Efficient**: JSON backups instead of copying entire files\n- **Recursive Processing**: Handle entire directory trees\n- **Thumbnail Generation**: Optimized image previews\n- **Large File Support**: Handle files over standard size limits\n\n## Safety Features\n\n### Automatic Backup Protection\n- **Pre-Modification Backups**: Every change automatically creates a backup\n- **Timestamped Backups**: Each backup includes date/time for easy identification\n- **Reversible Operations**: All changes can be undone using backup restoration\n- **Bulk Operation Manifests**: Track all files modified in batch operations\n\n### Privacy Protection\n**Social Media Ready Feature** removes sensitive data:\n- GPS coordinates and location information\n- Camera make, model, and serial numbers\n- User comments and maker notes\n- Software/tool identification\n- Photographer attribution data\n\n### Data Integrity\n- **Local Processing**: All operations performed locally, no cloud dependencies\n- **Error Handling**: Robust error management with detailed feedback\n- **File Validation**: Verify file integrity before processing\n- **Safe Overwrite**: Original files preserved through backup system\n\n### User Protection Features\n- **Confirmation Dialogs**: Destructive operations require user confirmation\n- **Operation Previews**: See what will be changed before applying\n- **Selective Processing**: Choose exactly which files and fields to modify\n- **Undo Capability**: Restore previous state from JSON backups\n\n## File Structure\n```\nMetaData-Manager/\n│\n├── Main.py                            # Main application file\n├── README.md                          # This file\n├── requirements.txt                   # Python dependencies\n├── Install_Linux_Requirement.sh       # Install dependencies for linux\n├── Install_Windows_Requirement.bat    # Install dependencies for Windows\n├── Start.bat                          # Start the Program for Windows \n├── Start.sh                           # Start the Program for Linux\n├── Backups/                           # Automatic backups folder\n└── LICENSE                  \n```\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n### Common Issues\n1. **\"Permission Denied\" Error**: Run as administrator/sudo or check file permissions\n2. **Metadata Not Saving**: Ensure image format supports the metadata type\n3. **Slow Processing**: Large files or many images may take time -
