This program is completely free and will remain completely free, but you can donate any amount to me to show your appreciation.
A lot of time went into the creation of this tool.

Below you will find several binary releases:
The below releases do NOT contain exiftool itself. Download exiftool from https://exiftool.org/ (the linux deb will do that for you).
Windows users: remember to rename the "exiftool(-k).exe" to "exiftool.exe".

Universal jar

jExifToolGUI.jar: Just the bare jExifToolGUI.jar containing all dependencies. You need to have java version 8 (1.8) or newer installed on your system. Start with java -jar jExifToolGUI.jar &.
This version should run on any system that comes included with java 8 or newer or where you can install java 8 or newer. (Windows/Linux/MacOS (BSD*unix)/Solaris/AIX/HP*UX etc.)

Windows:

• jExifToolGUI-1.8.1-win-x86_64_with-jre.zip: A windows 64-bit executable including java V11. Unzip with paths!
• jExifToolGUI-1.8.1-win-x86_64.zip: A windows 32/64 bit executable without java. You need java 8 (1.8) or newer installed on your system.
  
  Remember to always rename exiftool(-k).exe to exiftool.exe

MacOS:

• jExifToolGUI-x86_64-macos-1.8.1-with_jre.dmg.zip: A MacOS bundle including java V11. Note: Apple is very unfriendly to non-Apple stuff like java/perl and other software. This bundle IS a working Apple bundle but not entirely according Apple standards.
• jExifToolGUI-x86_64-macos-1.8.1.dmg: A MacOS bundle without java. You need java 8 (1.8) or newer installed on your system.
  
  When I have double-clicked the jExifToolGUI app bundle from the Finder, it closes immediately after the Splash screen. Why ?
  jExifToolGUI is from an "unidentified" developer (me) and therefore blocked by the MacOS Gatekeeper software. You need to add jExifToolGUI to the "list of exceptions". That is actually very simple. See Apple support.

Linux

• jexiftoolgui-1.8.1.deb: a Linux .deb package. For all Debian based systems (Debian/Ubuntu/Mint/MX Linux/Raspbian etc. etc.). This is a linux multi-architecture version as the relevant java V11 version for your system/architecture will be downloaded as dependency.
• jExifToolGUI-1.8.1-x86_64.AppImage: Linux universal Appimage including java V11. Runs on every 64bit intel Linux system (and also inside Chromebook Linux beta). Simpy do a chmod +x jExifToolGUI-1.8.1-x86_64.AppImage and start with ./jExifToolGUI-1.8.1-x86_64.AppImage &.

Note: There is the java JDK (Java Development Kit) and java JRE (Java Runtime Environment). The JRE is needed to run java applications and is normally 4-5 times smaller than the full JDK. Since a few years the JREs are no longer distributed.
AdoptOpenJDK "strips" the JDKs and delivers JREs. See https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html



Changelog:

• issue #99: 3 issues > GPS edition.
• issue #98: Focal length in 35 mm shown as null. Fixed for cameras that do not provide the "FocalLengthIn35mmFormat". All cameras provide the "ScaleFactor35efl". Combined with the "FocalLength" one can calculate the "FocalLengthIn35mmFormat".
