Elodie relies on the great [ExifTool library by Phil Harvey](http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/). You'll need to install it for your platform.

Some features for video files will only work with newer versions of ExifTool and have been tested on version 10.20 or higher. Support for HEIC files requires version 11.50 or higher. Check your version by typing `exiftool -ver` and see the [manual installation instructions for ExifTool](http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/install.html#Unix) if needed.

I work tirelessly to make sure your photos are always sorted and organized so you can focus on more important things. By photos I mean JPEG, DNG, NEF and common video and audio files.

## Using OpenStreetMap data from MapQuest

I use MapQuest to help me organize your photos by location. You'll need to sign up for a [free developer account](https://developer.mapquest.com/plans) and get an API key. They give you 15,000 calls per month so I can't do any more than that unless you shell out some big bucks to them. Once I hit my limit the best I'll be able to do is *Unknown Location* until the following month.

Once you sign up you'll have to get an API key and copy it into a file named `~/.elodie/config.ini`. I've included a `config.ini-sample` file which you can copy to `config.ini`.

If you're an english speaker then you will probably want to add `prefer_english_names=True`to the `[MapQuest]` section else you'll have cities named using the local language.

I used to use the MapQuest API to help me organize your photos by location. I've deprecated this feature and will remove support from the code base. If you're already using MapQuest, after the removal of MapQuest support I'll automatically fall back to Exiftool which is the new default. Follow [pull request #518](https://github.com/jmathai/elodie/issues/518) to know when it gets removed.
