Re: [gexiv2] Installation on OSX

[Alessandro Tanasi <alessandro lonerunners net>]

Hello,
i would suggest to have a look at Ghiro project[1], we wrote a library for what you are asking for[2], it is 
also open source code so you can use it according to gpl license.

[2] https://github.com/Ghirensics/ghiro/blob/master/plugins/processing/gexiv.py

Regards,
