The library OpenJFX must be installed separately and added to the command line in order to work. Unfortunately, it does not come bundled with JavaFX, which is currently required by the ImageMetadataEditor tool. It's basically the same as Oracle Java, but it doesn't come with some of the extra packages and has a more open licence. OpenJDK is an Open Source version of Java. The Image Metadata Editor can also support those more complex structures. Generaly, we tend to organise our images in folders, creating more complex structure.

The example used in this document is very simple. The Image Metadata Editor supports complex folder structures. Upon receiving the images the eAtlas team will check the metadata associated with the images to ensure that key attributes have been set, then they will upload each folder as a gallery in the system, associating the photos with the project that provided the images. If you use the cloud storage options then simply share the files with you want the photos to be organised into galleries please include the description of each gallery. These can be sent to the eAtlas using email (if the total size is less than approximately 30MB), by using Dropbox or Cloudstor+. Now that the photos have been tagged with metadata they are ready to be submitted to the eAtlas. This text can simply be provided in the email to the eAtlas team. When you submit these files please provide a text description (a paragraph) to outline what the gallery contains. If you wish your photos to be organised into galleries on the eAtlas then please organise the photos into folders, each corresponding to a gallery. The Image Metadata Editor will prompt you with this window before applying the metadata to all images. It should run directly if Java is installed. Copy the tool inside the folder containing the images. The tool is easier to use when it's located in the same folder as the images.

Save the Jar file to a convenient place to later run the application. Even if this is very unlikely, it's preferable to create a backup of your images before modifying their metadata. But, as any other programs, it may happen to fail during its execution, which may lead to file corruption. The Image Metadata Editor is very stable and reliable.

How to use the Image Metadata Editor tool If you have a bunch of PNGs to submit then you can convert these to JPEGs using a bulk convertion tool as part of the Image Metadata Editor. Note: The Image Metadata Editor can only attach metadata to JPEG images, not PNG or PDFs. The eAtlas Image Metadata Editor application allows the metadata to be edited for individual images or handled in bulk by using its Export EXIF to CSV and Import EXIF from CSV. The metadata is recorded in the photo files themselves and so this information is maintained when they are copied across computers.

This application is intended to be used by eAtlas content administrators and those wishing to submit lots of photos to the eAtlas. A web page is created for each image using the metadata added to the photo by the Image Metadata Editor. When these images are then uploaded to the eAtlas this metadata is then maintained and displayed on the site. The eAtlas Image Metadata Editor application is a Java program that allows information about the photos, such as title, description, attribution, location, etc., to be recorded and saved in the images themselves.
