Photo Information

Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander
Nikon D3200

Having recently acquired a DSLR to play with, I was frustrated by the lack of metadata displayed by the "properties function" of the file manager.  Specifically, in the "Image" tab I could see the exposure time and the ISO, but not the aperture size.  That information -- along with much, much more -- is there, as can be seen by uploading the photo to Flickr.  But courtesy of one of the posters at Superuser, I found this neat command line tool: exiv2.  An example of it's handiwork:
