#title JBrout Picture Manager ||<>|| '''jBrout''' is a JPEG (format widely used by digital cameras) picture manager software. Written in python/pygtk under the GPL licence, it allows the user – through a user-friendly interface – to associate keywords to pictures (IPTC tags) and process extensive research on these keywords. Many features are incorporated in the software, therefore it is possible to: * navigate by album, by tag and by period, * tag pictures with IPTC keywords (tags) * rotate pictures without loss, * use and modify Exif information, * export pictures (to a Web gallery in HTML format, perform like a HTTP server, send by email,...), * export to a Flickr or PicasaWeb account, * call externals tools (for example open picture with Gimp), * use a basket system to pick out pictures. Keywords are stored with the pictures (using IPTC metadata), making their exchange easier: When sending a picture, its associated keywords are also sent. This method of storing information offers a certain durability of data since keywords are not dependent of an external file. = Install jBrout from repository = The last package is 0.2.201, released 07-Apr-2008.
