File identifier 0.6.2

File identifier - File identification

File Identifier is a file identification and metadata extraction software
File identifier is a command line tool that permits identification of different files, as well as extracting the metadata associated with those files. Furthermore, the identification part of the software relies on a text database that can easily be modified.
Currently identifies about 600 file formats, and extracts metadata from about 30 major file formats. Optionally the metadata can be saved to a database that is compatible with 4DOS/4NT Description files so that the metadata can be shown at command line. Among others, it extracts metadata from the following formats: PDF, PNG, OLE (DOC), RIFF (AVI, WAVE), IFF (AIFF, ILBM), EXE, SGML (HTML).
File identifier also automatically detects the following embedded metadata: XMP and ID3.
File identifier maps all extracted metadata to XMP schemas (including dublincore) for easy understanding. Extraction of metadata stored in multiple languages is also supported. This is the freeware version.

File identifier 0.6.2 is licensed as Freeware for the Windows operating system / platform. File identifier is provided as a free download for all software users (Freeware).
