PFotos Version 1.3

PFotos is a little piece of software to make statistics on large amounts of images in different image formats, including raw formats.
PFotos is a stand-alone application that provides statistics on cameras, lenses, aperture and other image information taken from the EXIF data embedded in the images. It is non-destructive and works on large catalogues or directory structures.

Still, there is an issue with PFotos and MacOS X 10.14 (aka Mojave): Since Mojave is ignoring color settings from Tck/Tk most of the buttons are not readabel.
We could fix this issue with below mentioned version PFotos for Mac OS Mojave but the fix requires the installation of Tcl/Tk version 8.6.8 (at least) from ActiveState
We are waiting for the announced update of the MacOS embedded Tcl/Tk package.
Even with the update to Mac OS-X 10.14.1 the issue has not been fixed.
Moreover, the update to Mac OS-X 10.14.6 in July 2019 raised a new issue: packages built with and for Tcl/Tk 8.6.8 force Mac OS-X to force a user logout as soon the Tcl/Tk wish starts. An upgrade to Tcl/Tk 8.6.9 via the above mentioned link provides a fix. Sorry for that.
