Ruby wrapper for ExifTool

Build Status Gem Version Code Climate

This gem is the simplest thing that could possibly work that reads the output of exiftool and renders it into a ruby hash, with correctly typed values and symbolized keys.

Note that this gem was renamed from 'exiftoolr' to the less-ungainly 'exiftool' as of version 0.2.0. This gem simply adds a "class alias" from Exiftoolr to Exiftool, and is dependant on that new gem.

Consumers should switch to the new gem's namespace as soon as possible.
