Calling external tools

jBrout makes it possible to implement calls to external tools (for example, to open an image under Gimp).

The calls are grouped in the tools.txt file.

jBrout saves EXIF and IPTC data contained in your pictures before calling an external tool and re-records them after to prevent any loss of them.

jBrout is written under the GPL licence, and authorizes and encourages you to develop your own external tools calls.

Refer to the http://jbrout.python-hosting.com/wiki/ExternalTools page for further information.
