Elan-PixManager is a tool to manage image files, organize photos independently from the file system, generate HTML gallery, etc. It provides a group management for keywords you can attach to each photo. It can also display slideshow and EXIF properties.

Elan-PixManager (French code name 'élan') is a tool to organize and manage photos. This is not a tool to edit them like many others images viewers/editors.

Main aims for Elan-PixManager are:

To display photos and thumbnails.
To manage image files with functionalities like advanced searching, folder copy, property-based renaming (e.g. date and time, auto number...), etc.
To organize photos in a tree structure that is independent from the file system. Photos are organized in libraries who gather photo-albums that contain other albums and photos.
To centralize photo management with a database.
To provide an exportation file format to share images with others.
To provide advanced keywords management with groups of keywords.
To provide properties management attached with each photo.
To display slideshow.
To provide an expert tool for searching photos and their keywords with expressions combinations and regular expression matching.
To display (and edit) images files metadata (e.g. EXIF properties).
To generate HTML galleries.
Etc.
