# RawExtractor
RawExtractor, or in short *rex*, is a small utility designed for extracting embedded thumbnails from various raw image formats. It provides an effortless way to extract thumbnails. Unlike existing tools like exiv2 or exiftools, it doesn't require complex input arguments nor some bash hacking.
## Goals / Features
- Extract embedded thumbnail with largest available resolution
- Preserve metadata on extracted thumbnail
- Ease of use
- (TODO) Offer flexibility in choice of destination and file naming
## Dependencies
- [Exiv2](https://exiv2.org/): C++ Library used to interact with the metadata of the image
- [gexiv2](https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gexiv2): GObject wrapper around Exiv2
