Event Timeline

This really instills confidence </sarcasm>:

Current status

The MAT maintenance and development is currently on hold, mostly for health reasons. I might go back to it at some point in the future.

The current version might have bugs, and doesn't work on Python3: Please avoid using it.

Not to mention that looking at his git history, he just fixed Nautilus support and hasn't tagged a release in 2 years.

During my Windows time I used MetaData Stripper: http://codewelt.com/stripper
MAT looks like it comes closest to it and I don't know of any better alternative.

DataDrake claimed this task.

Given the lack of activity on Github, closing this as DOA.
