# xIFr
xIFr is a Firefox browser extension for viewing EXIF, IPTC and XMP metadata in image files, including a map-view of
geolocation. It features "deep search" to target images that normally can't be selected by a simple right-click.* [Install xIFr from Mozilla Firefox Add-ons](https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/xifr/?utm_source=github.com)

### Why another Exif viewer?
Because I felt other Exif readers annoyed me, or I felt they were missing something. It is probably a matter of
personal preferences, but you should really check the _"deep search" feature_. It works sooo well - in my own
very humble opinion :-)![Screenshot](https://www.rockland.dk/img/xIFr100-2-1400x1050.jpg)
### "Deep Search" feature?
Most other Exif viewers for Firefox only works if you can right-click directly on an html _img_ element.
But with "Deep Search" xIFr finds the image you want to see details about,
no matter if it is below a layer or is defined as a background-image of another element.
In 95% of the times, it just works as you expect. You won't even know if you were right-clicking directly on an
img element or not. This is in my opinion the most important feature distinguishing xIFr from other Exif-viewers.Also, with Deep Search you can avoid overlayered logos and icons. By shift-clicking when selecting xIFr in browser's
context-menu, you will force xIFr to look for images larger than a specified size (The size is configurable).You can get a little introduction to xIFr's features, including what
Deep Search does, at [www.rockland.dk/xIFr/start](https://www.rockland.dk/xIFr/start/).### Dark Theme support

### A handy Firefox tip!
Some websites override the browser's default right-click context menu. But often you can just hold down the
_shift_ key while right-clicking, to get the browser's native context menu back - and thus launch xIFr...### Creating extension from repository
In principle xIFr is a "cross-browser compatible" webextension. While it currently _ain't_ available via Google Chrome
or Microsoft Edge Web Stores, it still works with Chromium based browsers if you install the webextension directly
from your local filesystem. There are however differences in functionality supported, and mostly limitations when
using xIFr in Chromium based browsers. So for now, only "officially" available and supported for Firefox.To create a browser extension from this repository, simply create a zip-file with content of the _WebExtension_ folder.
### A lot of credit to...
Vital parts of xIFr, is inherited work by various [people](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StigNygaard/xIFr/master/WebExtension/AUTHORS)
involved with development of [wxIF](https://github.com/gcp/wxif) (xIFr is a fork of wxIF) and
[FxIF](https://code.google.com/archive/p/fxif/). Without their initial work, xIFr wouldn't be.Also thanks to [crimx](https://github.com/crimx), and his ["Get All Images in DOM" coding-post](https://blog.crimx.com/2017/03/09/get-all-images-in-dom-including-background-en/) which was great help getting started
on the Deep Search feature.### License
