PicaJet is a digital photo organizer software. [1] Photos, located in various places on hard drives, can be located by date, category (which can be defined), rating or other user-defined custom criterion. [2] PicaJet can assign images to categories without limitations to category nesting levels. [3]

Contents

While the program offers basic image-editing tools, it gives various ways to sort, file, and annotate photos, as well as some extras like free Flickr and Fotki [4] plug-ins and a Send-to-Mobile feature. [5]

Network support

PicaJet supports networking. The photos can be accessed on multiple networked computers. Although multiple users can view the photos at once, only one user will be able to edit the database. [6]

Features

PicaJet can generates categories from folder names or IPTC keywords, import some IPTC tags like descriptions and categories. [7] And the program can automatically creates an unsaved metadata folder for any images that have undergone changes to metadata information like descriptions or categories. This information can be reviewed before storing it to the embedded image IPTC/XMP file. [3]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Tag (metadata)</span> Keyword assigned to information

In information systems, a tag is a keyword or term assigned to a piece of information. This kind of metadata helps describe an item and allows it to be found again by browsing or searching. Tags are generally chosen informally and personally by the item's creator or by its viewer, depending on the system, although they may also be chosen from a controlled vocabulary.

Desktop organizer software applications are applications that automatically create useful organizational structures from desktop content from heterogeneous types of content including email, files, contacts, companies, RSS news feeds, photos, music and chat sessions. The organization is based on a combination of automated scanning of metadata similar to data mining and manual tagging of content. The metadata stored in applications is correlated based on a structure for the data type handled by the organizer tool. For example, the email address of a sender of an email allows the email to be filed in a virtual folder for the author and company the author works for or a music file is filed by the musician and album label. The resulting visualization simplifies use of desktop content to navigate, search, and use related information stored on the desktop computer. The data in desktop organizer tools is normally stored in a database rather than the computer's file system in order to produce virtual folders where the same item can appear in multiple folders to the user based on its relationship to the folder.
