Cleaning up my 200GB iCloud with some JavaScript
> Any method that I've found to clean them up (exporting the originals, deleting them from the library, and then re-importing the JPEGs only seems easiest) will lose all of the years of metadata that I've built up in the library.
The open source tool osxphotos (https://github.com/RhetTbull/osxphotos) can help with this. You can export the JPEG images while preserving metadata using the thrid-party exiftool utility:
`osxphotos export /path/to/export --has-raw --skip-raw --exiftool`
This exports all images that have a raw pair but skips the raw component then uses exiftool (https://exiftool.org/) to write the metadata (keywords, etc.) to the exported JPEG files. You can then re-import these into photos either by dragging them or by running `osxphotos import /path/to/export/*`
Both the export and import commands have many other options for controlling export directory, etc. `osxphotos help export` or `osxphotos docs` to open docs in browser. (Disclaimer: I'm the author of osxphotos)

Locationator: Access Apple's Reverse Geocoding service from the command line, Services menu
Locationator also comes with an optional CLI that can be used to perform reverse geocoding on images from the command line or perform the reverse geocoding and then write the location data to the file's XMP metadata using exiftool. It also comes with two services for doing the same from the Finder or other apps using the Services menu.

Exploring EXIF
ExifTool[0] does all that from the command line. I use it for automating my photo organization workflow and, as a bonus, I use it for reading the metadata of damn near any filetype.

JPEG XL: How It Started, How It’s Going
I think TIFF has some unique features that makes it more prone to certain security issues[1] compared to other formats, such as storing absolute file offsets instead of relative offsets. So I am not sure TIFF is a good container format, but many camera raws are TIFF-based for some reason.[2]

I found no better tool than ExifTool by Phil Harvey. It works amazingly for this format and more!

Bulk image metadata edit
I would first use a renaming tool to make the files more digestile and then use something like https://exiftool.org/ and a 4 line script with a for loop that uses the file name to retimestamp your pics.
Ok so you use this tool: https://exiftool.org

any program for MACOS or for Ubuntu that is free that allows you to edit the meta tags of photos en masse. Thanks!
As u/ToddBradley posted, exiftool is by far the best tool for batch editing metadata. It runs on macOS/Linux/Windows.

Looking for a way to tag my photo collection with keywords
To just browse and tag, Adobe Bridge is free and will to correctly add metadata following the IPTC Photo Metadata Standard. Also free and uses exiftool on the backend is jExifToolGUI.

App to automatically change metadata based on filename
There may be GUIs for it, the search words would be exiftool and gui. Here is jExifToolGui. It seems to be as pretty as its name; I have no experience with it.

Why this program (Metadata cleaner) from Flatpack needs that much of space? (Mint 20.1)
mat is not the only option. Most of the time I use exiftool, but on images I also use Imagemagick. I recently found an interesting GUI front-end for exiftool called jExifToolGUI - it is available as an AppImage, so you do not have to worry about dependencies and removing it is as simple as deleting the file. https://github.com/hvdwolf/jExifToolGUI/releases
-
is there any exiftool to remove created and modified date?
There's only one exiftool program, located at exiftool.org, though there are some programs that use exiftool on the backend, such as hvdwolf's jExifToolGUI.
